i made a new default stylesheet for my site. you should notice that the colors are different, the navigation is now on the left, font is larger by default and in general i played with the look and feel of the site some. if you have a chance, let me know what you think. the beauty of it is that all i had to do is edit a single stylesheet and the whole site was updated. anyhow, i was bored and wanted a new look so i made one. oh yea, this site should also now behave better on the macintosh browsers as well, sorry about that jill. you can now browse my site with all the fervor in the world without worrying whether or not a link is covered by another layer.
