I have done some work on the home page and css file.So far it works
beautifully on my laptop and also on my desktop.
I can reduce the width on my desktop and the page reformats itself
accordingly.
There are 2 issues, 1 of which is on the original page as well.
1. As you scroll down the page there is a huge amount of white space at the
bottom. It appears to be bigger than the textblock.
I think I know what is causing this and will sort it out tomorrow.
2. The banner at the top. When I saved the site to my laptop it mustn't
have save all the pictures used in the logo. I am missing the flat tri
colour stripe but have the wavy part. Without the flat part the tri colour
doesn't go right across the top section.
Apart from those two issues and a little tidying up everything is done. I
will finish the tidying up tomorrow and either post it as a screen shot or
post a link to my dropbox for people to peruse at their leisure.
Cheers.
Michael.

Sorry to disagree about functionality of fixed width sites. If you reduce
the browser's to a size smaller than the width of the site, you have to
scroll all the way through the text. If I work on my Netbook I hate sites
that do not reformat the text for a smaller screen and I have to scroll
back and for to read through the text.
I could see the benefit for wide screens though. I do not know if there is
a possibility to say "not bigger than max width" but reformat if screen is
smaller. Might be a compromize.
Just my 2 cent
