I have some problems with your updates and we really need to get on top of 
this procedurally right away. I was chatting with Michal last night and asked 
if he had seen the new Kommander page. He asked why it was laid out weird. I 
was shocked to see it was now totally broken. (when you alter libraries you 
need to update all pages) I thought the main site was okay, but now I don't 
remember. I tried for some time to make the Kommander subdomain display right 
but for some reason the best I could do was a really ugly hack. Oddly the 
link "/home/kdewebdev/public_html/css/default.css" did not seem to be working 
so I had to use the domain name, but I ended up with an ugly hack copying the 
CSS file and I never even committed it.

This morning I checked and the main site is also hosed, throughing suspicion 
on my difficulties last night. The left included menus work but the main page 
doesn't, which is what the Kommander site was doing. So I will look at it.

Here is a simple rule. Always test on site after a commit so you can fix or 
revert any problems. There are things that can only be proven on site. Right 
now we have portions of the site that have been broken for over a day. If we 
were running high traffic this would never do. This is why I want to limit 
uploading. Fixing validation, which will be checked by a select few, has 
broken everything, which will be noticed by everybody.
