The site is perfectly alright in IE 5.5.  Very nicely done, but I agree with
Richard that the blue text should be a different colour so as not to look
like links.

I was thinking something "similar". I was thinking of a collection of 5 wiki
pages entitled "Squeak School". Each page would be a class or a grade. But
the pages wouldn't contain the lessons, just urls and book titles and
ISBNs.Main theme would be for each page to be "a grade"/"ladder" that takes
you up to the next one. Just to put a bit order into all the resources.

E.g. 1st Grade
Getting your feet wet with tutorials and playing with projects.
2nd Grade
Learning the Smalltalk Language.

And so on

Regards,
Gary
