Improving the Site

I've started adding to the website for Linnaeus'Legacy, adding links to the sites that have hosted and those that have contributed (and remember, if you want to be recognised as a host rather than a contributor, then volunteer!). I've also started adding links to taxonomically oriented sites. If you'd like to suggest a link that should appear on the site, let me know.
