Hi there Rayne!

<snip>
Can some explain why the text on my site shows up bold in IE
but not NN? I
didn't bold the text through CSS, just the plain <b> tag.

NN is really persnickety about the sequence of your tags.
The <b> tag, the <i> tag and others of the same level (font
style attributes) must be "adjacent and next to" the
characters they affect.  In the font hierarchy, they are
"lower" than the <font> tag, therefore, they need to be
INSIDE  the font tag in nesting order. IE figures you
mistook the syntax order and renders what it thinks you
probably meant (and they are usually right). Therefore, the
"proper" sequence of your html tagging (according the NN)
would be:

<font size="2"><b>Other Pages</b></font>

Aren't browser variations fun?
NOT!

Ugh! Monday approacheth!
