How about some minimal thought on what kind of graphic might have some
relevance? (Are you offering the services of a graphic artist?)

Do you think the fonts are different than the fonts used before?
Which fonts? Ordinary text or source code?

Seek and you shall find! (well, you won't find the empty news page)

What do you mean it doesn't make any sense to you?
- do you mean that you don't know what pages the links will lead to?
- do you mean that you don't think those links should be there?
- do you mean those links should be somewhere else on the page?

That must be a nice display - I can't get the left margin above 1 1/4"
with the window at full screen. Perhaps you could just make the window
smaller?

Which graphs?

It's the same gray as the previous version of the website - no change.

black/white or orange/red/yellow/white?

The font size is too small when I use Firefox on Windows
