The top navigation bar does look very nice, but we've still got the
very ugly orangeish vertical boxes on either side of the main page.
There are too many links for one thing, so I imagine a large number of
the sublinks on the left hand side should just go away.  Is there any
chance you can try to keep working with this design and improve the
presentation of the links currently in the left hand navigation bar on
the main page?
