Were you looking for radically cool?  Because that's not really what I
was going for, and I'm not sure I'm capable of radically cool, anyway
:)

I agree that the title is a bit odd.
Would it help if the horizontal list was aligned along the left
instead of the right so that it was harder to miss the 'main' menu?
Or do you think a totally different arrangement is necessary?

hmm.  I'm not so sure I agree with this.  I tend to think that the
plain white main section looks rather elegant and uncluttered, but
that's just my opinion.  I'll experiment more with some
differentiation of the sidebar, though I've tried some things already
and wasn't happy with them at all.

Thanks for the input,
