Tried sending a mail earlier. Didn't work :-(

Obviously, I am biased, but:

Most of the site is actually the same, based on my markup, in turn based on 
Meredydd's earlier site. For a design/aesthetics point of view, I prefer 
'new2'. I don't have the artistic skill to do that sort of thing myself -- 
this I freely admit. The stipey background is a little distracting, but the 
logo is nice, as is the overall feel, colour scheme and the dotted lines.

On the other hand, from an engineering POV, mine is better:

	- mine has a built-in framework for i18n, although currently
	  only an English translation is provided

	- mine uses a table-less layout, which behaves better on
	  handhelds, text browsers, text-to-speech software, etc

	- mine provides a netscape/moz/opera sidebar

	- mine does not use deprecated HTML elements

Anyway, I have shamelessly stolen some of Nick's ideas and applied them to 
my own, to result in a "best of both worlds" design. It will take a while 
to trickle through to the web server, so in the mean time:
