Thanks for the nice words and the feedback. Yes, I agree that the HOME menu entry is redundant. Once I get the breadcrumbs properly setup and working for each content type (pages, news, blog, forum, etc.) then I will remove it. With regards to the alignment to grid, I have it in mind, but I am still moving things around, so fine adjustments will come later. That being said, I do have a tendency to "break the rules" for the sake of playfulness and visual liveliness, so don't be surprised if not everything is meticulously aligned. :) By the way, I worked a bit on the front page slider today; here is a screenshot: https://picasaweb.google.com/jorge.g.mare/UbuntuStudioArtwork#5595645470727783042 I am still not totally happy with the visuals, but the under the hood stuff (templates and CSS) are more or less in place, so it's another small step forward. I will be busy the next several days, so things are going to stall a bit, but I will pick up again next week. If possible, I would like to put the site online on a staging URL for you guys to play with towards the end of next week. We'll see if I can.
