Ever visit a website that worked like a labyrinth?  I hate that.

The idea I had would be to group information in what I would think
to be a better fasion.  Make it easier to find different things
before our site turns into a labyrinth-like mess.  In this sence,
I kind of agree with both points.  Information should be easy to
find, and work with all browsers...  Wait until you see my patch
and then tell me what you think.
