A new design: simpler is better

I started working on the design of my homepage again but this time, I really wanted to go deeper than just the look of the site. I was actually a little upset that the search engines only return the frame where the keyword is in (how could they do it otherwise?...) instead of the whole page as it was orinally designed.
In parallel, Bruno started talking to me about valid HTML, CSS and other stuff for which I didn't care before but I tried the validator (see at the bottom of this page, and it was actually very frustrating to get errors (my geek's soul is speaking) !

I am now back to the root and writing my homepage with emacs and checking its validity with the W3C's validator.
I am also getting rid of all the java scripts, which I don't find useful after all and which pollute the code, in my humble opinion.
It's actually very fulfilling to have a clean code, written by yourself and it doesn't take as long as you would expect, once you understand how CSS works ...
I still have to 'migrate' the other pages though but now that the design is ready, it should be quite straight forward ... hopefully !
