Nick,

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

RE: fixed width left
That was a decision that was out of my hands - it was originally stretchy
but the folks up top wouldn't stomach it. A shame, but in some ways a
blessing since it means the text column is more readable.

Personally I prefer it aligned left, but we'll take a view on that over the
next few weeks. It's so cool that I can alter that from one place! Thankyou
CSS.

RE: Skip links
There is a Skip to content for text-only browsers like Lynx, but yes you're
probably right that I should put a real invisible link in there.

Cheers,

Graham

Very nice, particularly like the photos.

 - I'm on Opera 7, 1024 x 768 - its fixed width, with quite a lot of white
space to the right - could you centre the content in the window?

 - With style sheets off it would be handy to be able to skip the list of
links at the top - use a hidden link:

<style ..>
  .Hide { display: none; }
</style>

<div id="nav1">
<ul>
  <li class="Hide"><a title="Skip to main content" href="#skip">Skip
Navigation</li>
  <li><a href="/birds/index.asp" title="Aren't birds brilliant - facts, pics
and clips of UK birds">Birds</a></li>
  <li>..</li>
</ul>
...
</div>

<div id="webcam">
  <h1 id="skip" class="webcam-header">Birdwatch Cam 2</h1>
..
</div>


 - Small niggle: it seems more logical to put the 'webcam' heading inside
the 'webcam' div :o)

Hope this helps.  Keep up the hard work

Nick
