I was going to wait and see what the consensus was on the menu size, but 
this seems like a deal breaker, so I've shrunk them back down. (I assume 
that will fix it.) I also made the links slightly darker as Rob 
suggested. I'm not entirely satisfied with the resulting appearence, 
though. If someone could suggest a color that's dark enough to be easily 
readable but works better with the color scheme, I'll give it a try.
