             Left side, right side, where do you want the couch?

So for those of you following at home, I'm playing around a bit with the
layout here. There is this layout you are looking at right now.

This page [1] has a navigation bar along the right side, pointing to the
individual links for the past seven days (none of the links work by the way.
It's using a URL scheme that I'm planning on using but isn't functional yet).
I did it this way for users of Lynx—it lays out tables that go left to right
top to bottom; not the best way to support tables, but hey, it tries. And I
felt that innundating a Lynx user with a list of links is bad. Better to
bring the content first then a list of (possibly) useless links.

But I did this page, [2] and under Lynx it actually isn't too bad. The first
link is to the content (if in fact, the link works). And at the default 80x24
TTY screen size, there's only two, maybe three screens full of links before
you get to the content. Oddly enough, I like it.

So, what do you think, [3] oh home audience?
