The menu SHOULD now properly link to the news...
...sorry about the change, but the provider of our blog used for news posts changed how they do things and required that they host the news page. But now we've fixed the navigation so it should be business as usual. And on this new template for the blog, the navigation menu is to the left. Again, sorry for the confusion, and thanks for your patience.
