More Progress

Finished the Artifacts section, which turned out to be more work than expected. Although the page count is only 69, many of the pages are long and complex, and some of them even have calculators on them. Needless to say, WordPress didn't like any of this, and balked at almost everything. I've been making use of the 'html' block rather than try to do complex things in WordPress' ham-fisted editor.
