I see what you mean about the goose manure :-(
One thing I would say is that the little book icon next to the voting choices doesn't make it obvious that it should be clicked - hovering over it until the tooltip pops up tells you that you should click it, but the cursor does not change when you mouse over it, so if you don't wait for the tooltip to popup up it doesn't look like it's a link.
Perhaps wrap them in <a> tags, or there's a CSS rule that can change the cursor - can't remember what it is right now, but a quick Google would tell you!
Other than that, doesn't look too bad!

Thanks! I have minimal css on the site at the moment, cursor is supposed to change to the hand, but can well believe I might not have got it right yet.
*&^% the client's view - I have added it to the instruction at the beginning of the vote form, will look at changing code tonight! Slowly.Ver slowly!
I've had all sorts of probs getting the cursor:hand working so that clicking on either the bookname or the image works. Both on the voting form & on the Buy the Books section at

In the end I gave up - & left the image linked to the popup - you know what it's like when you think 'Ok, this code ain't gonna defeat me' but you need sleep? WHEN I have had some sleep, I'll have another go... what works in HTML is really defeating me when it comes to sorting out the php...
The SMS application is behaving like a little lamb, which is always my worst worry, as we're about to start a Textaid SMS application running concurrently on the same server. Fortunately there's no website involved on that or I'd be white haired.
The good news is the site made it to The Times today... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-2-962451,00.html
I may have a beer on the strength of that later if I can stay awake. :-)
