I have a continual struggle between making my site boring and plain and also viewable in horribly broken browsers. The old site was nice and bland but people moaned and I thought it looked terrible so I tried properly CSSifying it which is great until you have no CSS :-).
I don't bother with broken browsers, but I do try and cover non-CSS browsers at codehelp.co.uk - I'm working through a series of changes to improve the text-only presentation at the moment. I find that position:absolute; or float:right are very useful because I can put the source at the end of the file (where it won't get in the way of the content for text-to-speech) but use CSS to put it 'above the fold' in a GUI browser. I'm working on getting the content first in all files, then the nav links and then thinks like the GNU/FDL copy notice and ValidHTML/ValidCSS image links. Once I've got a bit more done, I'll get back to the dclug site. I've been side-tracked recently with the isbnsearch project (now at stable release 0.4!) and I've got a long list of jobs needing doing.

I always get problems on the command line with FTP - the server response never comes back before the ftp> prompt has moved on. I get lost in a maze of pending calls.
