I'm not a CSS guru, but some googling turns up this: http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html > > Any thoughts on bookmarks as a menu? I think it's important the the main page we display provide an obvious answer to "so what do I do now?" Right now the choices seem to be "search for something" and "visit a bookmark." As long as it's clear what to do from the start page for someone who hasn't used Freenet before, I'm fine with bookmarks in a menu. Evan Daniel
