Print option now supported

This is something I should have done a long time ago.  It's not something that you would notice if you have visited here recently though, as it only takes effect if you want to print a page.

Too often you go to sites, and want to print some of the text out, only to find that half of it prints off the page, or you get images in the background that make it unreadable on a printed page.  By using XHTML and CSS it makes it easier to substitute one page style for another, and I have used this technique to set an alternative style for printing.

What it does is take away certain menus, images, and other elements that aren't relevant to a paper copy, and to apply plain formatting to the rest of the page.  So this is just an update to say that the printing template style has changed.  I may write a small article on it soon, but really it's pretty straightforward.
