My only suggestion (complaint ;-) ) would be that we need to use consistent capitalization rules for the sidebar headings and the links within the sidebars (see my suggestion above). I prefer this because I'm a hard-ass when it comes to the written word. I think texting and chatrooms have done major damage to proper writing and punctuation over the last decade. I mean how hard is it to let your left pinky hit that Shift key? :-) It makes for a more professional presentation; | ||
