Ok,

So I've taken Mary's advice (thanks!) and started with a domain I had knocking around http://www.best-dog-guide.info>, which seems ripe for a directory/search engine for dogs.

Iv'e got fatty configured and set up an index page and embedded a search box, the url rewriter thingy is working to create pages on-the-fly too. I'll add some html links to form the basis of a dog directory on the index page and take it from there.

I will try to update this thread as I go along, so other noobs can hopefully benefit from this too.

Mike
