    The text size is a bit big, imo.

  Actually we have talked about putting the pages at povray.org, mainly
because my current account at tut.fi will not last forever.

  I wish all browser would implement CSS in the same way... but they don't.
  In Mozilla text-size medium is the default text size (when nothing has
been specified). Apparently in IE text-size medium is a rather big size,
much bigger than the default.
  *sigh*

  I'll try to convert everything to relative sizes if I can figure out how
it is done.

  Actually it seems that specifying font-family: sans-serif makes the font
rather big. serif is a lot smaller... Odd thing.

Actually IE seems to have a pretty peculiar way of interpreting CSS.

  For example, I have defined the pre-blocks to have a font-size: small.
IE (at least my IE 6) interprets this in such a way that the font is
actually larger than in other parts, where the font-size is 'medium' (which
should be larger than 'small'). Mozilla makes the <pre> text smaller than
the medium text, as it should.
  If I define <h3> to have normal text (ie. not bolded) with medium
font-size, Mozilla makes it normal text with medium font-size, as
anywhere else, but IE makes the text bolded and larger than other medium-sized
text. Ugh? If I make the text italic, IE does not bold it anymore (???) but
it still has a larger font than other medium-sized text.

  From what I can see, Mozilla works in a much more logical and consistent
way when interpreting CSS, so I'll stick with that and let IE do whatever
it pleases. It's not my headache.

  (On the other hand, both browsers make the sans-serif font-family larger
than the serif font-family, for some reason. *shrug*)

Looks fine to me in both Netscape and IE.

Odd effect seems to be happening here for me, using IE 6 (or 6.00.2600.000).
A whole group of links change to the visited link color just by going to
one. Several the blue ones on the left changed too only by going to one of
those red links. I didn't jot down which did what, if that would have helped
to know.

Are you going to rely on the browser navigation buttons instead of having
jumps within the pages?

I actually liked the color scheme. Blue and orange is my favorite color
combination. Not especially thrilled about red but for links it makes sense
anyway. The rest of the layout looked right, in this short time to see it.

I think this is an IE issue, I've noticed it on many occasions, in all
(windows) versions. IE appears to just remember which pages you've been to,
and since many of the links just jump to named anchors on the a single
page, they are all marked as visited.

It works as expected in Mozilla.
