When dealing with frost it is always best to be paranoid. In the spring never think it is too late for one more frost to come. And in the fall never think it too early.

Kathy- thanks so much for this-your kind words are much appreciated.

Bill-thanks, re-the transparency…I was sort of envisioning the banner and sidebar buttons as rusty ironwork-like old gates you can see through.

Oh yes, I agree. Very nice.

I like having the transparency in the banner as well as in all the columns.
