Greetings mages!

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. Not being a professional web 
designer (yet?), I appreciate all the feedback. Pardon me if I answer all 
replies in one mail.

1. Background color of main content area: I've changed it to black over 
#E0E0E0. ruskie and flux_control seem to be amenable to it. (On another color-
related note, flux mentioned that the text color for the search buttons are 
unreadable, so I'll have to fix that as well).

2. Font sizes: I used em's, not pt's, but not %'s either. I thought em's was 
more preferred (by the w3c)? I could change that as well if that's not the 
case. (Going to wait for replies on this one).

3. Visited links color: of course I intended to do that, but forgot to 
somewhere along the road. :P

4. Underlined links: Normally, I agree with this (although my own website 
doesn't look that way), but wikis, specially MoinMoin, seem to be an 
exception. My reason is that links in MoinMoin are tricky.  
Developer_Organization is different from Developer Organization. But with 
underlined links, they look the same, which may lead to some confusion if 
links are typed in manually. I temporarily changed the setting in my demo site 
to illustrate the point. Also, it seems that MoinMoin defaults to no underline 
for links, perhaps for the same reason.

5. Stationary header and sidebar: I'm not so sure on this one. Smells too much 
like frames/frameset of ages past :) though of course it can be done in 
standards-compliant ways. I'm just not so sure about it.

I think that covers most of the replies. :)

Regards,
