After a lot of prompting from my son, Iwan, I have finally
got around to giving my website a bit of a makeover. I
realise I'm risking a little after the problems I had with it
in the last week (the message form works now!), but I do hope
this will be worth it. I've tried to give the site a more
modern and fresh look, without affecting the content too much.
Good job!
Thank you :-)
Thanks to the CSS work you've done last year it was not that hard,
wasn't
it?

No. The style sheet changes let me change a lot of things very
quickly. Meaning I can spend more time on the QL contents, less on the
maintenance of appearance etc.
The only niggling bit is that Firefox browsers seem to ignore the font
setting (sans-serif fonts specified but it always uses Times New
Roman).
I made a conscious decision to keep the HTML as simple as I could,
apart from a small bit of php for the message form, plus mostly small
pictures to try to make sure pages are quick loading. The grey strips
etc are just table backings, for example (amazing what you can achieve
in HTML layouts with just simple tables!).
Like I said before, it was pressure from my son which made me do this.
He helped me a lot with the design to try to update the "boring old
fashioned look", as he put it.
