PHP / CSS !

Well, I spent SIX HOURS tonight reworking DVzine.org to utilize PHP (for the new streamlined navigation bars at the top) and Cascading Style Sheets for all the formatting on the site. How did I know how to do this? Because my good friend Nate, who is an awesome webdesigner, gave me some pointers and sent me some links to various tutorials around the web. Much like switching from QWERTY to Dvorak, switching the site to PHP and CSS was slow and arduous (I had to go through EVERY page on the website and hand drop-in the new code), but in the long term it was WELL worth it, as it will be extremely easy to make site-wide changes by just altering a pair of documents. Hurrah!
Now that I've taken care of that I will start updating the other content of the site. I'm going to try and do small updates here and there (a few each night?) instead of massive updates because I don't have time for that!
Thanks too for all the zine orders and emails with suggestions. Keep them coming!
