homepage

I reformatted the homepage and added new graphics. Ever since I redid the homepage the last time, I never liked the way it was set up. But I was looking for something that was different from everyone else's. But it was just too much for me to take in when I was looking for something in the buttons, so I figured there had to be others that were the same way. :) I like one column of buttons going in one direction, not rows and columns. That's just too much for me!! :)
