Hello Everyone,

With all the talk of css, xhtml, accessibility and my zaurus arriving soon i got 
inspired (that and i was farily bored today) and have hacked up this little
page.

 [ http://void.printf.net/~bredroll/zen/ ]

I hope that this is accessible (it is fully w3c happy) , its my entry into the
http://www.csszengarden.com style page,

In mozilla/konq it has a cool little menu thing down the bottom i hacked up
using css and blood. in ie, this doesnt work so ive made it display the menu
contents in the same style as the page.

comments please :-) ?

Ian
