Tim Jenkin said… - Hi Christoph, I managed to figure out how to make a login button. You will see the Login tab at the top now, though I have messed up the drop-down menus that Les created. I'll have to get him re-instate them. I think there should be a CES button at the top where we can have other things, such as the registration form.

The aim of re-localisation is to provide inhabitants with the possibility of an acceptable quality of life when traditional economic development fails, or their circumstances are against them.
We believe complementary currencies will become more important as energy supplies dwindle and impact the economic growth so essential for inter… Continue
