I still think the bread crumb doesn't need to be such a prominent feature.
Why not just a contrasting text color (light blue on the dark blue
background) and a smaller font?


That will break the physics of the page. The bg is water, the content boxes are islands. You cannot put builiding into the water :) You see what I mean? The moment you start using bg for other things, it doesn't serve as a contrasting medium anymore. If you try it by yourself, you'll see what I mean.



Don't letters float? Not even the lower case ones? Ok, I'll try as I don't see what you mean. What you are saying sounds way restrictive.


it's not restrictive, it's just the space gut feeling :) See for yourself and tell me if I'm wrong. This reminds me of the warnings written at the bottom of the swimming pool, which are vaguely seen through the water.


Is a "Home" link in the menu not necessary since the logo is a home link?
I guess it's in the bread crumb, but if you wanted a complete menu it might
be nice there.  Minor issue, I do remember looking at that menu wondering
how to get back to the home page.  (And maybe it only needs to display on
pages != home page.)


I don't think so. Logo is not a navigation widget, it just happen to be linked to the home page, it's very not obvious that it does. Why does 'Home' bother you? You want a different name?



I'm talking about the side bar menu, not the bread crumb. The main menu doesn't have a home link. Granted that there's the bread crumb (and the logo), which is fine, but my first impression on the site was "there's the menu, but where's the home link?"

Oops, I'm still drinking my morning coffee, so I've completely misread your comment, sorry. You've a valid argument. May be we need to add a title to the menu, and link it to the root? How other sites do that?
