Done a bit of fiddling

Done a bit of fiddling with the html today - the first makes it easier for me by including the base tag in the header of the page. Now rather than having to specify a url of http://www.helsby.net/whatever, I can now just put whatever. Normally this is not really needed for this web page, but if all goes to plan it should mean that images etc will still display properly when the page is viewed within a RSS reader. I've also added a stylesheet that puts the menu on the left hand side of the page. I'm still working on getting one that removes the menu altogether, which would hopefully make the blog page more readable in pocketpc's. Update Skin to hide the menu bar is now available. There is also a "default skin" link at the bottom of the page to reset back to normal (otherwise you would not be able to get back to choose other skins if required). Unfortunately Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't use javascript so the links on the Axim don't work :-( After testing I think its actually that Pocket IE doesn't support cascading stylesheets so you can't change this sort of thing. Oh well - at least it works on a pc!
