Well here's what I managed to get done today: http://kasimahmic.koding.com/works/GIMPB/examples/carousel.html

It's basically just a content swap. It still needs to be entirely restyled. Also, I found something out. If I change one of the classes, the body becomes fluid. The problem with that is the images (the browser icons on the page) and the text end up too far apart on the body.

This is the exact reason why I chose to go for a static design. The mockup that Mike made doesn't exactly work with a fluid design unfortunately. Unless we come up with something different, I'm afraid we'll be stuck with a static design.

This should actually be fairly easy to deal with.  Either use the "max-width" property to keep the content from getting spread out too much and for browsers or user agents that display the page on a screen that's not very wide, the content can scale down to fit that size.  The benefits of a fluid layout are worth the relatively little effort to make it work. 

You're making great progress!

Peace...

Tom
