Hey Marco -
I fired up my old Windows machine to check out your work.
The page lost some of its formatting when rendered in IE -- the
background color was gone and the fonts weren't applied. Everything
turned up Times New Roman (the default), and the page was white,
although the resizing of the columns worked as expected.
At first I thought the white color was an attempt at improving the dirt
brown scheme, but no such luck. The rest of the site rendered
appropriately, with the correct fonts and colors, but your page was
completely off.
If you are in the process of working on it and I saw a draft, then
ignore this message.
