Web pages

Out-of-date HTML 4.01 pages are gradually being upgraded to comply with the XHTML 1.0 standard.

Validation

Each new (or updated) page is checked using the W3C's on-line Markup Validation Service, or sometimes locally using an HTML validator called A Real Validator.

Link checking

All links on each new (or updated) page are checked using the W3C's on-line Link Checker.

Menu

The floating menu system on the left, which is used throughout this site, was built using software supplied by:

       

Style sheets

All the pages on this site are controlled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). I use DHTML (ie XHTML and JavaScript) to display dates, images, pop-ups, etc.

Images

Graphics are manipulated using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, and Flash animations, like those on the home page, are created using SWiSH.

File transfer

Files are uploaded to my Web host's server using WS_FTP Pro.

Security

In order to maintain a high level of security, I use leading anti-virus, firewall, spam filter and anti-phishing products, plus the best adware, spyware and Trojan scanners available, and never download, or open, unsolicited file attachments. I never reply to spam or purchase products advertised via spam. I block keyboard and other monitoring, my IP address is cloaked and my registry is closely monitored for changes.
