Hi Christian,
The spacing between the banner and the content can be fixed easily. If
you look at the portion of the code relating to the navigation, you
will see this:
<div id="subheader">
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a class="active"
href="#"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>News</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Support</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Extend</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Projects</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>About</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Just insert all content between the last two <div> closing tags. There
is also a content div in the stylesheet that you might want to wrap
everything in - that just adds top and bottom margins to space out
content a little. So transform that to:
<div id="subheader">
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a class="active"
href="#"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>News</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Support</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Extend</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Projects</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>About</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
INSERT ALL CONTENT HERE.
</div>
</div>
My apologies, I should've made this more clear - the problem is caused
by the footer auto-positioning code - that's why all the content
appears just below the bottom of the browser window.
For language selection we could have a drop-down box listing all the
native language projects (and linking to them). Unless we don't want
to do some fancy server-side scripting to autodetect language and make
some suggestions based on that, I think the drop-down box would be the
best solution.
Cheers,
- Ivan.
