Millwood Online (millwoodonline.co.uk)
Background
I registered the domain http://millwoodonline.co.uk years ago and have had it running as a blog / test site since then. I have installed almost all the CMS and blog software available over the last few years. After the release of Drupal 6 I installed that and thought I would set it up as a Blog, this was more to play with Drupal 6 than to Blog.
Modules
Img_package
I have found this a great module for Blogs, if an image is added as an attachment this module adds the image inline on the post.
Lightbox2
The lightbox2 module works together with Img_package to allow full size pop-ups of the images.
Pathauto
This module changes the URL from millwoodonline.co.uk/node/19 to a more friendly URL like millwoodonline.co.uk/content/post_name, this makes the web site a lot more search engine friendly.
Service links
I have found my traffic has grown loads since I (and strangers) started adding my posts to Digg, the service links module adds all the social bookmarking links to the bottom of the post, thus making the posting to Digg a lot less stressful.
Mollom
Mollom which is currently in Beta tries to stop all the SPAM comments, so far so good.
The future
I have grown to like blogging about my love and hates, I also really like Drupal so I can see this site growing and changing. As much as a working Blog this site is a test base for new modules and themes. I think this site will change in looks and functionality most weeks. So bookmark me, add my RSS feed and Digg me. I would love your feedback and help.
lightbox2
I'm using Firefox 2 on a mac and your sites lightbox effect fails. to be precise: the screen does its greying out thing, the loading gif displays centred, then the page is replaced entirely with a new window showing the larger pic, no backlinks or anything.
this is why I gave up on lightbox.
just checked using safari 3.0.4 on mac and lightbox is good - but the effect is spoiled by the popup and redirect to the microsoft media player plugin page (which I dont have, or want) that happens each time i zoom.
nice site though, yes I agree Abbergavenny should have a dominos.
lightbox issue fixed
That lightbox2 has been fixed for a while now - it was caused by a jQuery bug in the jQuery version included in Drupal 6. Lightbox2 now has a workaround in place and the jQuery bug is in the process of being fixed.
So does the Lightbox module
So does the Lightbox module now work with all browsers?

Enable captcha for user
Enable captcha for user login. That will stop spammers.
In my opinion Color combination is bit dull.
On selecting the site videos are trying to download, make the site heavy. try to download videos which are selected. else display option for video.
Cheers.
I have noticed the Lightbox
I have noticed the Lightbox problem on Firefox on Windows and Mac, annoying. I cant think of a better option.
The Microsoft problem is because I have an embedded WMV video. I may try to convert this to Flash.
FLV players
Why not use Jerome's FLV player plugin which allows for display of the video on your site, and also to download the video if the user wishes?

Great Idea, I will have to
Great Idea, I will have to have a play around, there are loads of nice new modules like FLV player and Media mover that will allow me to get video on my site quick and easily.
