Re: site w/MANY links

Roger,

It's difficult to say with that many links to have what the best method
would be. Do you have sample pages where we could see what you've done, what
your ideas are (even in rough form) to see if we can help guide you
creatively? For me, I know that would help me to possibly provide
suggestions, as I'm more visually-oriented than not, and tend to be able to
grasp an idea better when I see what someone is struggling with on their
own, rather than just imagine it.
