I have also reorganized the Related Tools section and rewrote the initial paragraph. Design-wise, I have added some extra spacing at many places, turned the Related Tools section to a 2x2 grid to take less vertical space and redone the main headline. Also, I tried to tweak the color scheme to use brighter and less nauseating colors - please tell me what do you think! I'm wondering whether perhaps the page is still too wide now - one idea would be to move the header, the two link boxes and possibly some of the contact information to a sidebar - the link boxes always looked a bit strange to me. I'm not sure how much would it help, though. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. -- J. W. von Goethe
