I'm not sure what the branding police have to do with this, or Case's role in the template, but it *is* pretty decent, although it is not really what I would call good. It rounds up to good. It's almost got the XHTML, it's got CSS, although somewhat inelegant, and it's got layout tables, but it works pretty well, compared to what was there before. -- +Chris
