[GenABEL-dev] layout of GenABEL main page

[Nicola Pirastu]

As I told Maarten  I think the idea is good although the G should be more ReadABEL and it looks a bit like we are a sequencing company, so maybe we you could try to fit statistics somehow. Maybe part of the writing could be like formulas in Latex? 

Also I really like the subscript in the main page of the website "GenABEL'ing genetic research". 

I also think that my attemps never arrived to anyone but I think his is better anyways :).

Best.

Nicola
