@furrypaul – he he he! I’ve spent a surprising number of hours on the new site making sure all the code is done properly, rather than hacked together as I go along. So it should a) all work and b) continue to work when plugins are updated, etc., etc.
The blue circles appear all over the place as I changed the CSS file to display a blue circle graphic wherever there was a HTML bullet code. This was to make the headlines on the front page look nice. However, HTML bullet codes appear *all over* the site in all sorts of weird places – hence the graphic appear where it shouldn’t. This is one of the many things that is sorted out on the new look site.
