Remember that golf blog I'd mentioned that I was going to start? Well, I've started it. It's called "The Sand Trap" and is available at http://thesandtrap.com/. My remaining design goals, which which Erica Tesla is (supposed to be) helping, are as follows:
- Menu needs to align in FireFox (looks OK in Safari)
- Colors could be tweaked. I just used green everywhere.
- Fonts need attention. I'm not sure I want to stick with what's there now.
- Little tweaks here and there to some of the spacing and whatnot.
- The "back nine" at the bottom of the home page is hideous and needs an idea.
- Navigation works… but not on IE/Win. I'm not sure what to do about that (it's Eric Meyer's CSS Menu stuff).
- A little "code cleanup" and possible consolidation/simplification.
That's that. But hey, the thing is "open for business." If you're a golfer or know a golfer, subscribe to the feeds. They're up and running (that reminds me - they need some work too).

Hi Eric
With respect to your menu problem on IE/Win: There was an article on ALA that dealt with this. The solution is to add some javascript (only a few lines) that will add the necessary commands in IE but keep the code clean elsewhere.
It works like a charm! You find it here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/.
