What do other people think of this?
OK--I MAY have come up with a solution. The main page has quite a bit different/more styling than the download.openoffice.org page, but I may have arrived at a solution of sorts. At least we could maintain coding (for the actual DL button) in only one place...this eing said I have somehow "lsot" of the stling for the interal DL button on the home page (but perhpas when you see what it is -- the options -- you might not object too much). I took out MOST of the nittering alerts as well.
