Uh, I did a little seamlessing in gimp and I tried to upload it, but 
it wouldn't let me write to the directories or change the 
permissions.  Can you ssh in and do a:
    chmod -R g+w /home/groups/j/ja/jazzplusplus/htdocs

Done.

Can I convince you to use the default font size? :)  If the default 
size is too large for you, perhaps you could change your brower 
settings.  If you really don't want to make it any larger, perhaps 
you could change it to a font without serifs, something like 
"helvetica, arial".

BTW, I'd suggest making changes to Jazz and committing as soon as 
possible.  I don't know how much you've used CVS, but you're probably 
going to get conflicts when you update your source so you can commit.  
The longer you wait, the more of a pain it'll be to merge things.
