Your eyes do not deceive you; we're experimenting with a slightly more evolved look for "Adam Smith, Esq."  While the banner/logo is sacrosanct (indeed, it's pending registration as a federal trademark), one of the comments that came through from more than one of you in the "Reader Survey" was that to some eyes and on some monitors the site was difficult to read.

Since just about the farthest thing from my mind is putting anyone off when it comes to "Adam Smith, Esq.," some tweaking seemed in order.  And I reserve the right to tweak some more; the banner, however, is safe and sound.
