Try clicking one of the hexagons, silly.

Why should I do that? They’re just hexagons - they don’t say what they’re
for or where they go. You mean I should just click stuff willy-nilly when
it’s not clear what it’s for? If the point of a web site is to disseminate
information, shouldn’t the navigation be clear? If you popped a DVD into
your player (that touted itself as the Best DVD Ever, no less) and saw a
“menu” made up of colored shapes with no description or instruction, what
would you think of it?

Well the “Best Ever” thing was rather a joke, but I’ll let it slide...
What I would do is first think hmm this is rather interesting, what are these
hexagons for?
Then I’d put my mouse over them and note the color change. Each hex has a
different color, I’d think, I recall in Kevin’s post that he mentioned that
there are 6 builders on this site, perhaps there is a hexagon for each of them
Then I would think my god, I just noticed that when I put my mouse over a hex,
it also changed from an arrow to the hand, meaning that the hexs are indeed
links.
Then I would click one of the hexs and explore. And isn’t that what LEGO is
about? Exploration and Discovery?
Note, this whole process would take me less than 30 seconds.

I am getting rather tired of explaining the bloody obvious. Let’s stop playing
these games.
