Just my two cents...
kunzite1, I really do like your menu you're working on, and it seems that others really like it as well. :)Here's what I was initially thinking about when the subject came up about the tutorials box though... Just thought I'd throw it out there so people can see it as well. It will be less likely to have problems between different browsers and stuff, although I know Mike is coming up with ways to fix the problems with the CSS menu. Anyway, I've been messing around with it as an option, just thought I'd see what you think. *shrugs* It won't hurt my feelings if you all don't like it or if you prefer Mike's CSS menu. Just an idea... it gave me something to do while I was bored. :p
If we were to use this it could be linked to in the navbar, a component, or the welcome note... It also knocks out two of the components: the "tutorials" component, and the "how to write a tutorial" component, since I thought those two pretty much go together anyway.
edit: it was decided that we'd use both the page and the menu.
kunzite1 has already added the tutorial page into the layout, took out the tutorial component, and put a link to the tutorial page in the navbar and welcome note. Thanks Mike! :)
