Using the Web Developer extension for FF makes this easy. It looks a
bit cleaner, indeed.
Regarding the general commentary about the iconography/UI, I think
it's definitely on its way. I wonder if something along the lines of
RapidWeaver's page (http://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/)
wouldn't be useful. (I only point to that page because (a) I recently
visited it and (b) many third-party Mac pages follow a similar layout
scheme). Each of the icons (which I like) might better go with a
short, punchy description of that part of the site. Further, to
highlight the download (or maybe the online Sage notebook), that
item's icon and description grouping might have a subtle background
color and/or border. Not anything garish, but something that points
interest to it.
As to the color scheme itself, dropping to an all-white background
helps readability, but I think there's room for the use of color to
separate the header from the body.
All of that said, I think the new site is a very nice improvement. I
am more than happy to contribute to CSS or other stuff if help is
needed. When I have a bit more time, I may also more thoroughly
comment on the copy and provide suggestions.
