Not too much of a major change, but definitely cleaner, more professional looking, and easier on the eye. I'm hoping that these ideas will soon see fruition, rather than simply getting lost like previous attempts to update the site. So, to anyone on the list with access to the website, what do we need to do to get Chris's design made live? Does the existing site make use of layout templates, or will this involve making changes manually to every page on the site? I'm also wondering what happened to the idea of having a FreeBSD wallpapers section on the website, which we talked about some time ago. Another good idea that got lost ;) Jason.

Would this be a reasonable first step?
