That's a nice improvement. Some random thoughts:

Putting "text-decoration: none" on anchor tags is a bad idea, it's the
main way people recognise links, especially when you've changed the
colour.

Also there's a strange gathering of non breaking spaces before "cork"
that could probably be removed.

I understand the idea for the text-decoration thing. In this case, though, the test was to see how much optimisation I could do on the original code without breaking the design. The original design does not have lines under the links in the OSDN-style header.

I'll be working on a full rewrite of, say, the front page today. Should have something up later on. My goal is not to change the design in any major way - I am not a designer, so any "improvements" I make in that respect would be very suspect.

An added bonus to CSS-style rebuilding is that the menus can be placed at the bottom of the source, yet displayed where they presently are. This allows a more accessible reading of the site, and faster loading of content.

Will have something up later!
