I agree about leaving out any fancy crap, we don't need it for this type of
content-driven site, and I would never dream of putting flash or DHTML or
anything on it either. I do this for a living (mostly backend stuff), I test
in all browsers I have available to me on Mac/Winduhs/BSD/etc..., and I
won't make it all girly and pink, I promise :)
