[Cc-webedit] front page

[Jon Leighton]

I suggest we do away with the main highlight for now, which would make
everything else more obvious and get around the problem of what to put
there. Then I suggest we do the following:

* Make CCTV span two highlight slots (sorry but I can't find an easy way
to embed a "menu" to scroll through other videos, though the current
embed does allow you to do this but it's a bit obscure)

* Make the other two highlights be a link to the photos from the camp
and a link to the Crude Awakening site. Again with the photos it's
unfortunately not an instant job to have a scrolling thingy.

* Leave the rest as is. I think the blog excerpts are long enough
personally, I don't think we should be having huge swathes of text on
the home page.

* We could add some more events though. There must be more events
upcoming...

I'd appreciate quick feedback as possible as I have time to do this
tonight.
