Not to say that the old one is bad either. Can I suggest changes to the wording?
As you see it currently has "Download download openoffice.org". Also, the users already know that they're about to download OpenOffice.org, so I suggest this: >> download Stable release (1.1.4) Or: Download beta release (1.9+) | Get on CD >> Notice the text under "download" has a capital. I suggest avoiding "OOo" for now. I would also reduce the amount of text in the button to as small as possible. And if I were designing the button, I'd make the "Download" text as H2, as on mozilla.org. :) Summa summarun, that would be: > <div id="buttondownload"> > > <div class="button"> > <h2><a href="http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html";> > download</a></h2> > <p><a href="http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html";> > Stable release (1.1.4)</a></p> > </div> > > <p>Or: <a href="http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html";> > Download beta release (1.9+)</a> | > <a href="http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html";> > Get on CD</a></p> > > </div> ...or something.
