Tom,

Take a look at these articles:
[ 1 ] is from ALA's site, and is similar to what you mentioned in your
original post.  [ 2a, 2b ] are also similar, but more dynamic, and more
efficient, and a bit more difficult to set up - but worth the extra time and
effort.  [ 2a, 2b ] cover far more than just keeping your navigation
current, and are a small part of an excellent Usability and Branding
Website;)
