Site Changes

I finally got around to adding a new template to this site. It won't look a lot different to the old one when it is finished but I have quite a lot to do before it works out ok. If you have any problems viewing or finding older pages or if anything seems broken let me know and I will take a look.
Thanks for your patience in advance! :)
