The color - the very dark green - that forms the major theme in this website is called "Charleston Green".

The story I heard when visiting the Edmoton House is this. After the civil war, many houses in Charleston were damaged and needed a lot of painting work. But the North only provides the South black paint. So, Charlestonian used a little bit of green to mix with the black and created this historic Charleston Green Color.

I was told that frames are evils [1], so I try to avoid use frame during the design of this web site. In addition, I also heard Javascripts are evil as well [2], so I also tried to avoid using Javascript for something that can be done plainly in HTML and Cascade Style Sheet.

In the design of first version, I tried to use CSS's position:fixed feature to make the navigation bars stay where they are. But I realized that IE doesn't support this feature. Fortunately, I found the trick here http://devnull.tagsoup.com/fixed/ to solve my problem.
