Hey.

This is a great design too. I especially like the logo and the footer.
I'd like to try making alternate versions of the menu and the content,
though, while I brush up the markup/CSS, as I think that can be
improved now that I got my "extra-exam" out of the way. For one thing,
I find the menu bewildering, and I'm not sure I like the idea of three
screenshots, either.

I'll admit I didn't expect so many excellent designs for a project
that had no code/has some code now. I think I'll limit my work on a
site to markup and nitpicking, as that's generally what I'm good at.
:-P

Did you make that logo?
