Ken, thanks for the link to webmaster-toolkit.com. In addition you made an interesting point.... Is it more important for the search engines to see your content before the navigational structure to a site? I've never given this much thought but now you've got me wondering which is better to emphasize - though we already rank quite well for our most important search terms.

Janeth, thanks for your offer - though I don't necessarily want to take advantage of your kindness. I'm going to play around with some of the sample CSS via webmaster-toolkit and see how that works. Otherwise you may hear from me.

Here's a test page I'm working on www.italintl.com/new-new/index.html. Since I'm new to CSS I'd be interested to hear your recommendations.

Thanks for the input.
