"site redesign" would be an overstatement

not so much a complete redesign, but more of a slight embellishment of this site. many friends and colleagues have bemoaned the rather austere look in the past...functional and very teutonic, but lacking a certain eye candy. well, refresh your browsers now and enjoy what i would call my "messy bauhaus tschichold jumble" - mixing the classic bauhaus colour combination with tschichold's post-1940 return to classicism with his "sabon" typeface...and a bit of grunge thrown in for good measure.

on a technical note, the new style now works a bit better when the text is resized in different browsers - where previously the horizontal lines on the left-hand navigation bar were "faked" as a single image, they are now correctly tied to the content they're separating. a few more changes along the way in the coming days and weeks, as there are still a few issues i'd like to address.

you may also notice the appearance of a few discrete badges (although certainly no "valid XHTML/CSS/WCAG AAA" ones, apart from the lovely tongue in cheek one at the bottom of my about page) to show my affiliation with the Web Standards Project as an Accessibility Task Force member and my honorary membership to the exclusive club that is the BritPack.
