Pleaure. I think it's looking good. Box borders might be a bit thick,
but the rest is pleasure.
I suppsoe the site stucture wil emerge when we write some stuff.

I couldn't get it to render properly using any of:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686; en-GB; m18) Gecko/20010131 Netscape6/6.01
Opera 6.0 Technology Preview 3
Netscape Communicator 4.76
or Lynx
Lynx, in fact, complained it was bad html. I still have the trace if
you want it. It was to do with select not being in a form? You put on
a W3C pleasure icon; did you check it?

I reckon I'll just make it a user/password page for anyone who wants
to. And yes, a text file will do nicely. Where will this news be
sourced from?
