Ok - thanks. I don't know how to do that.
Is someone willing to have a look at this? Ant perhaps, or someone else?
The site is at https://github.com/osgeouk/website, with some details in
the README there. Mini-site for FOSS4G:UK 2023 is in
https://github.com/osgeouk/website/tree/gh-pages/foss4guklocal2023.
Layout for nav bar is in
https://github.com/osgeouk/website/blob/gh-pages/_layouts/foss4guk2023.html.
Will add a temp placeholder for the moment.
Best wishes,
Nick.
