This is definitely headed in the right direction, no question about it. I think some kind of header bar is still called for; the whole thing is happening as a table now, so maybe background colouring in the top row is a good place to start. Suitably minimalistic, and often very effective. Images must go, though. :-) The left sidebar, now that it appears cleanly, now strikes me as being too busy. There are 29 items, all at the same level, spacers notwithstanding. I'll have to think about it some more, but I guess I am questioning the sub-project listing without having a great answer. Still, Jakarta and Tigris do the same thing (I do like the Categories idea on the Tigris main page). I am not a webhead either, I just know what I like when I see it, so I can only act as a critic. :-) Regards, Arved Sandstrom --------------------------------------------------------------- This mail was sent through the Nova Scotia Provincial Server, with technical resources provided by Chebucto Community Net. http://nsaccess.ns.ca/mail/ http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
