Great stuff! That is a very informative site. Content is king. You did a great job with the spread firefox theme.

Good overall menu layout. One question, recent articles is on the bottom right. Perhaps that's more relavant then links to digg and such?

You styled the google ad, lots of people don't :)
Path module would let you rename the taxonomy paths to something human readable for your visitors

you mean instead of links on top left...maybe recent articles should be there? also the path module that's to change the usual 'http://www.gilsmethod.com/?q=node/46' you'd get something simpler at the end? do you think that is a good idea? there are maybe 1 or 2 sites that link to this sidebar installer I created...maybe i should change it and just let the webmaster know....how important is it to make it human readable?
styling the google ads ok right? well any more comments greatly appreciated!

you have a block Latest Articles on the bottom right. That seems more related to your site's interest then perhaps linking people to digg.com. I was thinking you may consider information about your site's latest stuff is more important to your visitor's then digg's latest stuff.

As to the importance of path's being human readable? You will get a diviersity of opinion on it from the SEO folks. Myself? I just think it's nice being able to go directly to a section I'm interested in by name rather then by node/58

Over here: http://drupal.org/node/56784

How does the SF theme look once you go to node/add/book? For me, the layout is skewed.

I was wondering if you've managed to tweak it so that it works fine across MSIE and FF? I'm perfectly happy with things loooking a bit different, but I can't even get to some of the checkboxes I need to. Any suggestions?

Yeah I kinda gave up on it after a while, if you do figure it out drop me a line. Also when submiting content is the layout all screwed up? I really don't care for now b/c the only user on my site that can add content is me, but in the future I'd like to work with the forum and stuff...any luck?

I appreciate the praise, most of the credit goes to the folks who put together the Firefox theme...the content i'll take credit for...lol! That is my overall goal though, simplicity!
