Thanks!
Yes all done with HTML5 and liberal doses of CSS3. Thanks to PIE, it (more or less) works OK in Internet Explorer.
I have something else to mention; I am using Google Fonts. I have opted for the very nice, 'Cantarell', designed by Dave Crossland.

Yes, I have now updated this site to make better use of browser width.
Designed for a browser of at least 1024 pixels wide. Kinder on the eye and a few subtle changes to the layout and banner. Nothing dramatic, but freshened up a bit.
