Restructuring the site

As you can see, I've made some changes to the top of the site in regards to how you can find the books. The old system was rather fiddly and didn't even out very well, so I'm hoping that the new drop-down menu will remedy that. From here, you pick expansions, army books or other smaller downloads and go directly to either Google Drive, Issuu, Scribd much easier than before.

Obviously, this is still a work in progress as I'm just learning how to use css code properly, so not all features will be available right away. Hopefully I'll get this sorted during the week. Until then, you can still download all the google drive versions of the latest major books using the new menu.

Edit: All links should now be in place, except for Fimir and Classic RoR since they too will be restructured from their current format. There are still some issues with the menu that I haven't been able to fix yet, but I'm having some more tech-savvy friends of mine look into it during the week. That said, everything should be much more easily accessible than before, allowing me to clean up a lot of the clutter from the site.

I've also reset the poll now that all army books have gotten their full updates for 8th ed. I've removed the option for the Fimir since they will appear as an AC list instead.

The beta version will be in playtesting for about 1-2 months to collect feedback before replacing the current version. I don't expect to be working that much on the books during November what with gaming season 2013 underway, so it might also take a while for me to respond to any messages you might send. Thanks for understanding.
