News: Getting back into it

I think we have finally found a suitable layout that should be easy enough to alter. After quite a busy time for the team and myself we are managing to get back on track.

I’m just talking to someone about the header and hopefully will have a new one done some time this week. We still have to get all the old tutorials up and then put some of the new ones up as well.
