WHAT'S NEW ON MY PAGES?

The site began life in about 1998. I began the process of re-designing the enlarged site in readiness for a move to a new home in March 2000. On 21 November 2000 the site went live for testing. It was launched to the public about a week or so so later. It was off-line for a chunk of 2002 because of server problems, and returned to life on a different server on 21 December 2002.

The list below gives all changes to the site from January 2006.
