We have a special presenter for the night - David Woodbridge.
David works at the Royal Blind Society. His jobs is to evaluate client

Tantek's site is not really his own design. Every few weeks he changes the
visual appearance to look like one of the top 100 blogs - to show how their
sites could look the same but have sound underlying structure.
