+For Cod sake do not use this project as is!
+===========================================
+
+I'm making this public on the off chance someone, at an early stage of learning Django, comes across it and finds something useful in the code. This project is designed specifically for my needs and is not intended to be portable to other people without considerable restructuring effort. Besides this, my coding skills are basic to say the least and as soon as the learner viewing the project improves their knowledge they'll be able to work out all the many errors I've made.
+
+I will decide on a license and add it in due course.
+
+Calum.
