    Some words on look and feel

    The transition to a blog basis is now completed and the DNS updates have been propagating over the last day or so. Welcome to the new look and feel for 47soton. 
    Still working on the photos as there is some compromise on the resolution as presented by Blogger - if you click the image you can see it at the proper resolution. Also font size management is proving something of a headache.
    This keeps my cost under control and also ensures that there is a content archive as time goes forward.
                                                                                                                                      "47soton"
