Improvements to the grid styling on the Secret Santa page to group related sets of years, gift givers and receivers together by background colour on sort. I also added a border to each group. This helps to more easily identify related sets of Secret Santa books. Support is provided for these colour groups in all the existing site themes. We still need to complete some of the historic data.

Various website feature upgrades including:-
(1) This news page where any site changes or other matters of interest can be posted.
(2) A more comprehensive CSS implementation to allow easier themed styling across the site. There is a new default colour scheme called "Orchid" included with the change, plus a few other bonus themes. A drop down list of the available options can be found in the site header. Choose "Laurel" to go back to the classic styling if you don't like any of the new colour schemes.
(3) Secret Santa has now become a fully supported selection method with the giver and recipient properly recorded as database items rather than just in diary notes. A new "Santa's Choices" page lists all the books I've identified as such and you can sort the columns to see what you gifted and received. On the "Our Choices" list the chooser is simply shown as "Secret Santa" but from the book detail screen you can also see who gifted the book and who received it. I have full Secret Santa notes going back to the end of 2021. Before that I can guess dates of Secret Santa meetings and in some cases who I think books were bought by or for but not both. I've added partial data for some of these but if you can help me fill in any details, let me know.
(4) A new Library Stats page to display some simple aspects of our reading history, dynamically derived from the database. Further stats may be added to this page in future.
(5) A new Links page where external links of possible interest to the group will be added.
