the new browsers.

  The thing is, my website looks fine (AFAIK) in any browser except Netscape
4.x with style sheets on.  For some reason, Netscape 4.x just does a
terrible job implementing CSS.  I really don't feel like coding hacks around
Netscape 4.x's incapacities, so just turn off style sheets...they're
displayed wrong anyway.  Of course, the site looks best in the newest
browsers, but it doesn't require them.
  Also, from the first 8 days, 61% of visitors *were* using MSIE 5, which
displays the page correctly (except for the small-caps).  Unfortunately, a
significant 26% of visitors were using Netscape 4, but I don't know how many
had CSS enabled.
  If you have any specific suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

One thing I would love to encourage folks to do is use brickshelf for
your pictures, and provide a link to your folder in an easy to find
place even if the browser doesn't quite get along with your site. Then
at least we can ooh and ahh over your model (Bram, your Hummer is out on
Brickshelf isn't it? I seem to remember seeing it).

A couple teaser pics were up on Brickshelf, but not all the photos.  I
figure putting up pics on Brickshelf *and* my site is kind of a waste of
storage space.
