Make that 3 notes of thanks - the 3rd to Alex Salazar for creating the new home page layout.
This was a big deal because the old home page was densely packed with information and hit you in the face with a somewhat overbearing architectural diagram, all of which made for unfriendly 'first time' user experience. Alex's clean-up makes the site much more approachable now. He gave me a wireframe and I tried to implement it as best as I could. Thanks Alex!
