Take a look at this page - http://cado.maths.uwa.edu.au/~kevin/ . This guy is a computer genius, but has the ugliest page he can possibly make (and the content is good if thats what you're interested in - chaos?) Maybe this is the new trend - eschewing aesthetic pleasure altogether for content. I prefer the minimalist approach - check out my webpage for _really_ rudimentary presentation. I did it with netscape composer, despite the fact that I can code in html. (Like Picasso and abstraction maybe? Nah...I'm just lazy!) :-) Sean http://opera.iinet.net.au/~dooley/sean/index.html
