* This website looks pretty crappy in any browser except Safari right now, especially where I have used text shadows, but I don't really feel like doing anything about it. I actually may have even recently broken Safari slightly. Eventually other browsers will support CSS text shadows. Oh well, at least IE supports PNG graphics finally. Really though, IE, what is it about "no-repeat" that you don't understand?
** The ugliness referenced above in no way refers to the color scheme of this website, which was chosen in a fully intentional and non-ironic way.
