new look...

well, there's nothing really very extreme about this makeover. just decided a fresh look was in order. as you can see, i basically changed the visual theme of this site, made a few changes here and there but the content is pretty much the same. any thoughts?? good? bad? indifferent? let me know if you come across any broken links as i'm sure they are out there. i know of a few tweaks i'll need to make time permitting. again, i didn't test this with every browser known to man at every resolution but i think we'll be fine. poke around, see what you think. more later...
