[FOSS4G-UK] Website check and launch

[Nick Bearman]

Yes, this is true. It was an issue last year which we never properly 
resolved.

Only thing to note is that we're using the left hand side as a 
navigation bar:

Home
Venues
Keynotes
Call for Talks
Registration

These are all links to anchors on the main page (index.html)

Sponsorship is a different page (sponsorship.html)

So we still need some navigation options.

Happy for you to update / experiment / try something different if you like.

First step - let's un stick the left hand side and see how it works.

Then let's go from there.

Best wishes,
Nick.

Due to my own life/work balance, you may get emails from me outside of normal working hours. Please do not feel any pressure to respond outside of your own working pattern.
