Thank you; I'm glad I was helpful.
Do you still need the other pages done as well?;
I was planning to go down the left-side list; but if you have
what you need ... ... ...
[I've been an editor most of my life ;-) ]
BTW - sounds as if Norwegian is similar to English with these quotes
...
double for quoting; single in English parallel to <<>> in
Norwegian ;-)

I have uploaded the new version of the front page with your suggestions.
I have removed the quoting in "Basically a mechanical "turtle" … " . In
Norwegian the double quotes are telling the reader that this is not a real
turtle but something turtle-like. (Actually we uses the characters « and
»). The quoting used in the front page was a left over from Norwegian.
Again: Thank you for proofreading the site.
