Thanks for all the feedback - I have a relatively minor role in all of this and it's really all down to Brian and John. Any kudos should be directed toward them than me. Feedback is best directed through the admin/info address on SteepEdge rather than on here.
Ben Pritch and Tom Phillips have worked extremely hard and also the Vertebrate Graphics team who built the site.
Chris - yes there are lots of things that need sorting out. It was 'soft launch' this week and we hadn't anticipated the level of attention, but that's all good. Facebook is coming v. soon.
