Addicted to style. I'm not stealing money to support my CSS habit (yet), but I've created yet another style sheet for your viewing pleasure. Native Aussies may recognize the color scheme here; Oz's "team colors" for national sports are green and gold, and the national rugby team is called the Wallabies. America's national colors are of course red, white and blue, taken from our flag — but Australia's flag is also red, white and blue (mostly blue), as are the flags of England, France, New Zealand and many other nations.

So the Aussies sensibly decided to use some other colors, and settled on green and gold sometime around 1928 or so. Sports in Australia usually means rugby, cricket, Olympic swimming, or Lleyton Hewitt; there's some basketball here, but no March Madness… and sports like baseball, hockey, and what I refer to as "football" are harder to find.

Anyhow, if you don't like the new color scheme, you can always change it back by selecting your old favorite from the "Style" menu in the sidebar. (The previous default was "Gray Box".) Enjoy!
