Yes, I should add some color and style sheets, but at the moment I am
just trying to get the layout right and make it much simpler to get to
what I think are the most useful links.
Comments welcome.
Hm, looks like only on my machines the page looks broken (see

This occurs on FF/OSX and Chrome/Ubuntu. On my other two combos, the
DMDScript column is not misaligned, but the whole thing is still too
narrow and doesn't fill the width of the browser window.
Could someone post a screen capture so I can figure how the site is
meant to look? Thanks.

Opera, Windows 7:

Looks almost the same in IE and Chrome ("D", "C/C++" and "DMDScript"
captions are all rendered with Times New Roman or similar font in those
browsers).
Thanks. I update my opinion to "definitely crappy even in its intended
look".
The three-column layout ignores the width of the browser and is
unnecessarily cramped. What is this, a newspaper column featuring an
obscure announcement?
The short width of the columns and the lack of hyphenation makes the
text hopelessly ragged.
The icons are disproportionately large compared to the text.
The top three links are identical in the three columns, but there is no
horizontal structure to acknowledge that symmetry. In fact the links
inside columns form a menu of sorts, but are not visually laid out as
menus.
The "site search" box is... out there.
"Code of the Nerds" is old. Drop.
I find it surprising that anyone on this forum finds this format even
remotely passable, never mind better than the old one (which didn't set
the bar all that high).
