HoboHideout.com Gets a New Look

We have been working towards updating HoboHideout.com to a whole new look!

Our new layout is built entirely in CSS and we have stopped using table tags alltogether. 

We now have a consistent three column layout. The color scheme on the new layout revolves around the Hobo graphic.

We're gravitating towards map navigation. Users can now navigate by continent. The Google map of a city or non-city location has been moved to a separate page. To view a city map, click on the map link that appears on the right column of the city page.

Do share with us your thoughts and suggestions.
