Don,

Try tabbing through - it appears. I'm just playing with it too. I think
it's better than what I currently have on my own site.

Cheers,

I'm a bit of a novice, so forgive me if I miss something very
elementary, but won't that CSS make the #skipnav invisible to everyone?
I thought part of the function of skip navigation links was to enable
people with disabilities not sight-related to skip a long list of
navigational links too.
I guess this would not make it inaccessible, but it would make it harder
to find, it seems.
