Nov 16, 2008 13:30









I swear to god, Expressive is the most annoying layout type ever to work with. Whoever designed that CSS setup and the DIV LAYERS OF HELL needs to die now. And don't even get me started on cross compatibility. D: Anyway.

Named after Megadeth songs again, because they're awesome.

EDIT: Fixed a bug in the sidebar where non-links list links would appear too large, etc.
