Any thought on how I played these 2 hands please.
On the 2nd hand I read the guy right, but could I have raised him higher > Turn..?
On the 1st hand, I wonder if I should re-raised after the Flop to find out where I am. Hmmmm.

Both hands, when you raise the turn (whether you think you have the best hand or you're making a move), you have to raise more. You're giving your opponents no incentive to fold. In the first hand, you min-raise, and your opponent has to call only $2 into a pot that's around $13. In the second, it's $3 into a pot of around $13. Your opponents can call with any two cards.
By the way, why does the hand history from your site say this at the top:
| Quote: | | Texas Hold'em $0.50-$1 NL (real money) |
when the blinds are really this?:
| Quote: | | RolandHigh posts blind ($0.25), biscottiburp posts blind ($0.50) |

Good point - I.m not sure ! The hand history is off Pokertracker. The actual hand history off the site is 0.50, so looks like a blip on Tracker.

Okay first off you're raises are tiny, with a limper you raise it to 3x the big blind? You might as well not even raise at all if you're doing that, you should've raised that up to $2 or $2.50. Secondly if you're the preflop raiser, you pretty much have to fire a continuation bet regardless of what the flop comes. Checking and calling on the flop in the first hand is ridiculously weak, if I'm checking there it's because I know somebody will bet behind me and I flopped a monster.
