I have to thank ‘Anonymous’ commenter who left this very direct and very true comment on my last post:

I was so scared of releasing my baby into the world when I wasn’t sure it was mature enough. I am like a strict Mediterranean mother unwilling to let her 17 year old daughter out past 10pm, as she surely isn’t ready for that kind of exposure. (and yes, I was that 17 year old, surely I would have learnt!)

But the truth is, releasing to you - dear readers - is the equivalent of letting my 17 year old daughter out with a trusted chaperone. So, I think I can cope with that.

So, with a little fanfare (ta-daaaaaaa), here is my baby given birth.

The site is live, and I have invited friends and those in the industry to have a sneak preview, to give me feedback on what needs refining. The process has been excellent, and I have gotten very useful criticism.
