About the Site
Requirements
To tell you the truth, they're not terribly demanding. This website is browser- and OS-agnostic, at least as much as can be reasonably expected. Of course, I do recommend something modern, with CSS support, and a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768. I'm rather biased towards Firefox. Please let me know if you find bugs, broken links, or anything else that's gone awry.
Tech Details
OK, here's the nerd stuff. This site design was originally based on a template by Andreas Viklund. As you can see, I modified it heavily to suit my own purposes. The markup is XHTML 1.0 Strict, the style sheet is CSS 2.1, and I'm using PHP on the back-end. Javascript makes the site look better, but it's not required. The site sits on a LAMP server at Dreamhost.
The home page makes use of a home-brew CMS (Content Management System) that I wrote specifically to fill the needs of this site. More details can be found under the Source section.
