So you suggest tagging everything after a change instead of relying on the
SVN revision numbers.
My problem is that a lot of our projects are web applications, and the
graphics and HTML designers need to use this source control too. They
aren't always as technical as one would hope for and i'm trying to avoid
all confusion.

Ah, you said something i was wondering about too.
How are you supposed to (e.g.) use a dataaccess component in most of your
projects, but still have the component as a seperate project (hmm, i hope
i am clear here)

I haven't had the change to go through the svnbook so excuse me if i'm
being ignorant, but is it really that easy to move repository's around?
For example if you have a repository per project how would one go about
moving it all into a new single huge repository.
