I understand the idea for the text-decoration thing. In this case, 
though, the test was to see how much optimisation I could do on the 
original code without breaking the design. The original design does not 
have lines under the links in the OSDN-style header.

I'll be working on a full rewrite of, say, the front page today. Should 
have something up later on. My goal is not to change the design in any 
major way - I am not a designer, so any "improvements" I make in that 
respect would be very suspect.

An added bonus to CSS-style rebuilding is that the menus can be placed 
at the bottom of the source, yet displayed where they presently are. 
This allows a more accessible reading of the site, and faster loading of 
content.

Will have something up later!
