[Cc-webedit] Updating the website

[Alistair Alexander]

All looks good to me. 

One thing we need to consider is the past actions page - we need more space for actions. the obvious answer is to create another layer of 4 highlights.

On the subject of blogs, NEF are releasing a report tomorrow called "Growth isn’t Possible: Why rich countries need a new economic direction" - it can be downloaded free and they want it plugged and i think it could make a good blog post.

I've put an '(x)' next to the things I feel I can do and are seemingly uncontraversial, so I'd appreciate if some of the more experienced people on this list could hold off doing them for a week so that I have a chance to get my hands dirty!
