[oclug] Slightly OT: Need Help With Web Page

[Michael Lauzon]

browsers...browsers that will *not* recognise CSS; I know there are sites
out there with a similiar layout like mine -- as Rod says -- but most of
them are using straight HTML and no CSS.

Michael
P.S. Wasn't there a debate before on how we should be able to post how we
want to?!
