Proposed Web site redesign (beta)

[Tom Bruno]

I like this idea,  have a <for blind> link at the top in the first few 
lines of the page, that is w3c compliant.  Then we can write something 
for the blind pages that pulls the articles out of the sql database.  
Still dynamic, same content just different look (not violating 
seperate-content principle or whatever jason was talking about), and we 
still get the nice look.  Sure it'll take a little work, but... what do 
we do.. sit around and argue in the IRC channel anyway.

   Don't take that as me volunteering to do it.  I don't have a clue. If 
it came to it though, i could probably learn.
