Good for now but I may need some diamonds etc. when I move onto a bigger build.
Anyone good with creating rivers/canals? Trying to link the bay/cove I've built my house on onto the main ocean but putting down water from buckets just causes a 'rapids' effect which destroys any boats that travel down it.

Nah, it's not the rapids. All boats in Minecraft are fitted with a timed explosive device which will self-destruct at a point in time when it can achieve the most annoyance.
To solve the rapids though, you just need to keep placing water with a bucket on the different moving squares until they go still.
Oh, and they all have to be the same height - needs a level surface; you can't have still multi-height water which is connected.
The whole thing is all at sea level. Will try and get on there tomorrow and keep plopping down buckets of water until it stops...might take a while seeing how much I had to cut out to get it all to connect.
I still have no connection, but I can't see why, I tried to find a missing link ~

there is someone on now - 'jeesus' - I can connect to the live map, and the mini -site, both of which I think are on the same server, but not the game :((
