I'm sorry for that post. I checked the web archives and there seemed to
be some spam that I was afraid my first email got hidden under. I
apologize.

I saw that and, in my opinion, that is the kind of great first impress a
great distro's website should have! I'm guessing, however, that it
changes the layout too much for a quick approval. I am not suggesting
the layout I posted be used, but I'm just saying minor changes should be
made soon.

I was a bit unsure of that myself when I first put it up. I've changed
that now. [1]

To simplify things, I've attached one for the example layout I posted
previously with a few changes so that only the css files needs to be
patched. (I hope a `bzr diff` serves as one, I have not used the diff
from diffutils)
