I really do appreciate the advice that has been given. Some things are out of my control, i.e the ability to open multiple pages in different tabs. To address this i have put speakers on each page that if you click on them will play the same playlist as the media page.

I agree about the background and i hope the new one is easier on the eye, it certainly is less patterned. I also agree about the photos, as soon as i have more/ different photos i will change some of them over so there not the same snow themed ones.

Im not sure about the scrolling option for the bio and news. The news scroll will get longer as more news is added but im don't know whether it would be better to have large font for the bio and a scroll bar or smaller font in one block or text?
