Ver. 4 of this site is built. A combination of losing the main font that I
was using, the fact the page navigation was always being
overshadowed by pop-up ads, and me being sick at home led to the
rewriting. There's a few more pages to be built and cleaned up
but 90% of the migration is complete. I hope you like it!
