Hi John,  Overall, I like it and I think it's an improvement over what 
we currently have.  The responsive design for smaller screens is a big 
improvement.  There are some minor adjustments that I might suggest, but 
no show stoppers.  I'll just mention a couple things at this point.

I like the sans-serif.  Verdana and Tahoma are sans fonts designed for 
screens (rather than print) that are widely installed on different 
OSes.  There may be others.  So it might be worth trying these instead 
of Arial which was designed for print.

I actually liked your earlier version (with the flatter look) better 
than the one with the drop shadows.  To me the shadows make the page 
look more asymmetrical and boxy in a distracting way.  (Just one opinion.)

I've put up some screenshots to make it possible to compare those two 
versions:

(Just remove the two spaces in the URL, added here to prevent 
crawling/indexing by search engine bots.)

When you get a chance it would be interesting to see how other pages 
would look.  And eventually I assume we'd want to convert your HTML to 
texinfo to integrate with the current setup.

Thanks again for your work on this,
