25 June 2004: Rebuilt the web site.

• Three columns, header and footer layout using Cascading Style Sheets and Server Side Includes.

Cascading Style Sheets allows fonts, graphics and other elements of a page to be controlled from either the authors web page or the users preferences.

14 and 15 June 2004: Reset contents at the bottom and top of pages so that they are 'accessible' (let me know if there are problems).

Recoded the pages so that they are better structured for accessibility.
