Hi Graham, I'd gone into this, well still am, I've just managed to retain my domain name with uk2net .. payment issue, I'd paid yet it had not been in their allotted time frame ..
My brother in law is in IT.. chatting with him (help with setup) he'd advised have a site, but you regularly need to keep it updated and always active/fresh and that's with pieces/items for sell, the reason in any site, until I'm able to get back to a regular basis it's on hold.. elsewise somebody had suggested a blog should it be more as a communications means and show that just made this or for correspondence... posher and more under your control than FB.. not that that can't work equally as well.
Cheers David
