I'm telling you that if you block certain types of content, then don't expect the site to look 100% the way it was intended. I'd rather if you saw the typography and layout as I designed it, but have no qualms if you want to be safe about browsing! :D More importantly, the site continues to function fine without them (it was designed that way). > > Well, now I feel silly - other than Wilbur and the download icon, I > didn't realize that the items beside the other links were icons instead > of placeholders. > Don't feel silly - you aren't the first to have this happen to them.

I don't think we have an "official" color scheme just yet for branding, but I'll see what everyone else thinks too. > > Points of perspective: > > * Not everyone has great eyesight. > What do you do on pages that are rendering fonts small?
