Thanks. One of the things I'm trying to do is to prioritize the content over the website. That's whey, when reading an issue, the issue titles are prominent and the ca icon turns into the cover image, while the usually header logo and top navigation gets tucked away. It's a different line of web developing that I'm experimenting with on the RACC site.
