Thread Name: Tech: Running a Website (HTML Practice Grande)
Subject: RE: Tech: Running a Website (HTML Practice Ground)
The LeSession website is mine, encompassing
My abc notation tutorial,
the FAQ for the old uk.music.folk newsgroup,, kept live these days primarily for historical/archival reasons
my rauschpfeife sub-site, spreading the love for extremely loud Renaissance wind instruments,
and loads more stuff - have a look round.

Also under my wing is
the Phoenix ceilidhs of Horwich, Lancashire and
Flash In The Pan, the finest ceilidh band ever formed by some of the musicians of The Powderkegs Border Morris.

Mainly hand-coded, and very little scripting stuff going on to be honest. I'll never win any design awards but hopefully the content makes up for it :)

You might want to Google around the subject of the usage of a small text file called robots.txt, which you put in the root of your site and should be observed by all search engines etc. to not index certain files/directories, thus giving your experimentation a certain amount of privacy (don't rely on it for your credit card number though).

The name came from the 'Grand Session de Manchester' French dance/music sessions we ran over 10 years ago - the sessions are long gone but the domain name lives on ...
