This is one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to the
time I can use Cascading Style Sheets on the TLUG home page. It
makes it really easy to dynamically change tags. So <strong>
could magically become 

STRONG {
        font-style: normal;
        background: yellow;
        }

And I could put the nav items inside. 

Does anyone have a good script to analyse the access.log to pull
out what browsers people are using? Maybe when there's a
critical mass of ver 4 browsers hitting the page I can make the
switch. Does emacs support CSS?

I'll have to check how we configured Apache, but I see a small
problem with this. In order for the SSI to work the server has
to parse each page - could be quite a load if the server ever
gets popular. All those message pages end with *.html not
*.shtml so wouldn't the server have to parse _every_ page
requested for this to work?

Good ideas, though.

Thanks.
