Thank you.

One more thing about your navigation: instead of merely highlighting the "current page" link, remove it altogether, leaving only the text. Keep the same appearance, but remove the <a> element itself.

So instead of this:
Code: Select all
<a href="#" title="Meet Russ &amp; Pups" class="activeLink">Meet The Team</a>
Use this:
Code: Select all
<span class="activeLink">Meet The Team</span>
Or, if you don't need the <span> for styling, remove it.

You've already nullified the href, so it's clear you understand the principle: "never include a link that points to the current page". But it would be better to remove the <a> entirely. For example, in visual browsers, the mouse pointer changes to a hand; this provides a strong, misleading signal that the link can be clicked.
