@tom-d: I've got a vector logo, but it is kinda blurry... I'd love it if you could sharpen that up somehow. PM me your e-mail address, and I can send you the file.

Regarding the Web 2.0 look... I'm actually not a big fan of it. I guess that's coming through in the design change. Eye-wink But I'm also not a designer, so I'm dependent on the best efforts of others and tweak as necessary. I'm actually using the blue Pixture theme on my blog, and I'm not sure it looks as sharp as that screenshot. I can pass around the modified version of Pixture I'm using if someone wants to give the primary links row color some love or toy around with other combinations. I prefer the black row w/ the blue theme, but it just didn't look right with the orange. Sticking out tongue

My main beefs w/ the 2.0 look are font size and wasted space. We simply couldn't get any info on the screen. For example, looking at the front page now vs. before, there's actually useful information "above the fold." Before in 1024x768 resolution, we had the logo, some unhelpful quick links (I say unhelpful b/c less than 1% of our visitors used them based on the Google Site Overlay), and the top halves of the news/forum blocks. Now there's actually a description of the project on the front page (a must) and room for a little more info and possible space for sponsor links or something.

So... still a work in progress, and keep those comments coming. Cool
