"plain" CSS

If you've been reading my blog through my website, rather than through any of the places where I'm syndicated, You'll have noticed that I've recently created a new CSS stylesheet (which I've called "plain", even though it isn't empty) and made it the default. The reason for this change is that my previous default, the "hackergochi" CSS, was a bit of an angry fruit salad, and also required much of the browser to render it properly (firefox couldn't scroll it very smoothly, for example). This one doesn't change much colors (though it does change a few of them), and apart from placing the menu and having it stand out, there isn't much that it changes.

This will make my website work more efficiently, though not necessarily faster. The new CSS also doesn't waste as much screen real estate, which I think is a plus.

Only it doesn't look very good. But then, I'm not a graphical guy.
