The old LYCO Website design, used from 2007-05-10 to 2013-09-06

The LYCO website has just been redesigned for the first time since it launched on 10th May 2007.  Thanks to CSS Media Queries, the new site should fit better on smartphones and tablets, while also expanding to make more use of large desktop screens.

The new site allows comments on some pages, including this one.  For this particular post, please leave a comment if the new site looks badly formatted in your browser.  Or, e-mail michael@lyco.org.au.
