somewhat biased in that regard). I've changed the colors from UCSC's primary palette to Davis's. The Slug Yellow just didn't look quite right on a Davis template in place of the actual goldish color of which Davis's administrators seem so fond. Note the official shades of blue and gold for UCD are

I created this template only later to find that one under a different name -UC Davis- has been created. I'm terribly sorry for not checking this first (although I did try multiple searches for templates for University of California, Davis, to avoid duplication. I believe this template conveys more

Oh, also, I've come out with a new version of the template upon which this one was based, which is more in line with the pan-UC one I created earlier today. The new UCSC template and its coding can be found here:

If you would like any help in making this template Davis-specific (e.g., changing the blue-and-gold coloring from Santa Cruz's official shades to Davis's, etc.), just drop me a line on my user page. --

in order to prevent wrapping really doesn't solve any problems because wrapping depends on what text size you have. On my computer with default text size the links wrap with the current breaks.
