New iPhone Theme for WordPress site

For those using iPhones and similar I have just uploaded a new theme that should enable you to view the site easier.

It will open on the What’s New? blogroll.

You have the option to turn it off to see the site as you would on the web. Currently I can’t seem to make a link to the private pages (the forum link – so please set up your own bookmark to the forums on your phones because you can’t see this page via the mobile version).

Hope you like it.

Links moved

I’ve deleted the links page (which wasn’t very clear) and added the links to the main page.

Members can add their own links via the website dashboard which they can share or keep private (guidelines on how to do this (for technophobes) can be found in the member’s guide powerpoint in the forums (help and administration section).

Apologies for the site errors

Sorry again for all the internal server errors. The WordPress htaccess file is playing up. It had repeated itself many times over earlier. If it does go down I aim to sort it out as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.
