big improvement, john

i guess what counts most is how you feel it's coming along, not how we feel
;o)

steve, i agree that the "you are here" style at the second level should be
similar to the "you are here" style at the top level, but they can't both be
"live" at the same time, can they?

let's say you're sitting on the Article2 page

then the Article2 link should be dead

however, the link to Articles at the top level should work, i.e. get you
back to the main Articles page at the top level

perhaps it could be styled slightly differently, but the link "up" should
still work, it should not really look the same as it would once you click it
to go up and arrive on the Articles page

i have a similar two-level scheme on my site  http://r937.com  -- please
feel free to let me know if you think it's confusing or inconsistent
