It's good to be back. Maureen - I made a couple of tweaks to the timeline links - Is anything working better (or worse)? Hi Brian, Carl – glad you stopped by! It’s good to be back.

(Fancy me, a web designer, forgetting that . . .) I'm seeing it in Firefox 2 and in IE 7 on Windows XP (of course). Overall, it looks great. One minor bug: the word "Carboniferous" in the list of geological periods on the right extends a bit beyond the white background in IE 7, and only in IE (not in Firefox). It's not a severe enough defect to really hamper the user, but I thought I'd point it out; IE seems not to be stretching the bounding box to fit the text as it should.

I haven't seen it on a Windows machine yet, so the fact that IE isn't flubbing it is very welcome news. I appreciate everyone checking in with their browsers—that helps immensely. And the new mascot will be getting a proper introduction soon, I promise! Thanks, everyone—I’m very heartened to see so many people checking in!

But also impressed! The new design has much more "pop," and I appreciate seeing a new synapsid on the title. Who is that, anyway? I’m frightened and confused! But also impressed!
