New website

[Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen]

Hello there :)

  Thanks to the students for doing this, and you for taking the lead on it, 
it's some really great stuff! :) i have previously had access to the site, and 
it'd be very nice to retain that (while it's been some time since last i used 
that access).
