This way the pages all have the same feel, and the webmaster no longer has to alter 34 seperate pages when a change is neccesary. Due to the overwhelming popularity of this section this was also done so that the navigation works better on a smartphone in landscape view. Also done skyscraper navigation in the same way

---==== MAJOR UPGRADES NOTICE ==--- 25th February 2008 - All my websites have now been amalgamated onto a single new commercial provider, allowing a much larger bandwidth and content capacity.This means I can restore all the audio links too, although it will take some time to smooth all the links out. 22nd February 2008 - Plusnet suspended "The Engine Room " website because the bandwidth allowance was exceeded, several times. we just had too many visitors for an ISP provided webspace service. In the past I have also had to remove audio content to remain in the bounds of the size capacity limit. I took the view that I needed to upgrade to a different provider. |
