Martin, I'm not trying to be disagreeable. But it is my ____ opinion ____ that if you DON'T know what your audience wants - you are in the wrong business - or you need to do a LOT of homework before you ever post a single page (for pay).

Opinion again: It has been my personal experience, after years and years in this business, that folks "surf" the web for exactly two reasons:

Information & Entertainment.

Combine the two effectively, and you will hold the key to the golden room.

FWIW,
Fuzzy.
