Preparing for Stencil Archive Upgrade

Just got word from my administrator that the Drupal7 upgrade is going to happen soon, most likely tomorrow (Wednesday).

Since it is an upgrade from Drupal5, things will look a bit different. But the content will remain the same. Stencil Archive will still host the photo archives, links, and the main categories on the navigation bar will not change.
