Web Design Information. This site was made by me (Mike, Mick and Di's Son) using mainly html coding and a little bit of messing around in frontpage. The buttons were created using a very hand site called www.buttongenerator.com. (see the icon below) who ask only for a link back in return (hence this page). I also used the free search engine submission service called add me (see the link below). Other than that I don't think I used any other sites (on the finished version) that want a link back but if I have then please accept my apologies and me so I can make sure there's a link there.
