Cool!

Two javascript suggestions, implementations of which can be found here:

http://planet.intertwingly.net/personalize.js

(1) take a look at createCookie and readCookie.  You can set things up 
so that the reader's preferences are remembered.  No server support is 
required -- you can continue to serve these pages statically.

(2) search for '// hook event'.  You can get rid of the body onload, and 
(at least for firefox, and possibly others) get rid of the initial 
'flash' when occurs when you see the initial page displayed and then 
elements are removed.

If you think that any parts of what you produce will inspire others, I'd 
love to see those parts included as examples in Venus.
