Boringly, we're currently undergoing a massive, yet - we hope and pray - almost imperceptible, reconfiguration of the website. While the difference to you, the reader, will be minor in the long run, there may be a few technical glitches - the odd missing image or broken link - in the short term. We apologise in advance and assure you that all will be back in order shortly.

*bllzzzzt* *creeeeeeeeek* *shblblblblk*

*ominous low rumbling noise*

Stand by for re-entry.

>>UPDATE: About three hours later... <<

Well, would you look at that. Snowbooks.com is now fully css'd up, almost fully XHTML compliant and generally pretty darn spiffing. If this means anything to you, God bless you, and if not, just move along, nothing to see here.

It had to happen really, and if you work on the internet in any way yourself and don't know why, then you should read this rather excellent article. Standards, gawd demmit, they stand for something.

That's it: we're going for beers now.

>> UPDATE: The next morning <<

Didn't we speak too soon. Apologies to anyone who came along overnight and got a few lines of bad text. All should be well now - do let us know if you have any problems.

>> UPDATE: We can't stop ourselves <<

Some more pretty boxes with ticks in them, to go with Emma's BIC accreditation from a few days back.

That's right: Snowbooks.com is now actually XHTML compliant. Well, the front page is, but this will gradually bleed it's way across the site.
