Text Version

The 'Text Version' pages, available through the link in the header on every page, are 'machine generated' and therefore may have some limitations. If you have any feedback on the text-only pages please feel free to email

Text Re-sizing

Although we do not provide 'text sizing' links within the site, font-sizes throughout should elegantly re-size in a modern, standards compliant, browser (e.g. Firefox where 'CTRL~+' will increase text-size and 'CTRL~-' will decrease text-size). Internet Explorer, unfortunately, has known limitations regarding text re-sizing.

Standards

The pages within the site are intended to conform to current CSS and XHTML standards

Valid CSS! Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

Metadata
