For some unknown reason I have feared using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) on JLSNet for some time. So I though it about time I had a bash at uning them… it was not very hard and it has now made the site look a great deal tidier and consistent. As a result this also encouraged me to tidy up some more HTML and should make generating new pages for the site easier in the future. Plus did a little image overhaul of menu images.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life” –Matthew 6:25

Do you like Marmite? As part of a huge debate I have been having amongst uni friends on the subject of whether the majority of people like Marmite or not. I have put up a poll on JLSNet. Please make your vote to settle this age long debate. The argument against it is that it apparently “tastes like Satan’s Excrement” –Ben, whereas others would claim “Marmite is My Mate” –Boyce. Place your bets….now!
