Good place there, and I can't help but be biased about the art; the only
thing that occured to me was that maybe the secondary pages (as opposed to
first main or home page) might do well linked together also. With a link
between them instead of the back button in a browser and then going back to
another from there like you have on those tertiary (image) pages. Or maybe
even frames anchored at the main one so all can be gotten to without the
switch-back. Of course that leads to the Frames/No Frames issue, but at
least that could leave the copyright paragraph in one place continuosly
along with the linking poem(?) you now have there. Or the home page as the
starting subframe page anyway.

Well, being a resident HTML pedantic expert, here are a few suggestions.
First of all, the layout is very good. I'd only suggest better colors on the
text and a link back to home from the other pages. Bright blue text against
that medium blue background is not quite the best choice for legibility.
Especially for us older guys. :-) Also, you might make a simple 88x31 button
graphic for your link back to home. Then I could take that graphic and use it
on my pages to link to your site (cool, double-duty).
Hmmm. Now for the technical stuff...
For anyone getting started, I'd strongly suggest going through the info at
http://www.htmlhelp.org/
Even the W3C is linking to them nowadays.
You should add a <!DOCTYPE...> at the begining of your pages.
<METANAME=
should be
<META NAME=
(To help remember, it's a META tag, not a METANAME tag)
In your body tag you specify only 4 colors. You should specify all 5. The
missing one is BGCOLOR. You do have a background image, but it's still a good
idea to always include a color too (especially when the bg image is slow to
load, broken, etc.)
Usually I like sites to not set LINK VLINK and ALINK to the same color as
TEXT. At the very least I like VLINK to be different to help me keep track of
where I've been lately.
You seem to be abusing the FONT tag. Many people think it's a bad idea to use
it (myself included). But if you are going to use it, it needs to be within
the <P> tags. Technically a FONT element can't contain a <P>aragraph element,
so you need to place open and close FONT tags within each P tag pair, not
around the P tags. But a better thing would be to define a style via CSS and
place a STYLE attribute on each of those <P>aragraphs.
MARQUEE is a MSIE specific tag that many people think is almost as evil as
Netscape's BLINK tag. (Personally I think the BLINK tag is far more evil)
Change your sig to have a mailto
<A
HREF="mailto:mha### [at] mindaswinternetcouk">mha### [at] mindaswinternetcouk</A>
Some places you have ALINK="LIME". It's a good idea to just stay completely
away from the named colors and stick with hex values.
<TABLE ALIGN="Center" ALIGN="Top">
should be
<TABLE ALIGN="Center">
(Only one value per attribute. Also, there is no top for tables)
IMG tags should have an ALT attribute
At some points (the image pages ) you have some typos. ">>" and "<P."
You should do a color anaglyph of Harvest.
