Well-worn road, eh?

I was thinking something very similar. You could take the links that 
are currently banner and make something like a menu bar running beneath 
the ads, the logotype, and the logo. This would also give us a lot more 
space for varying length menu terms. I'm probably not the first person 
to suggest this. Was there a reason why it wasn't implemented? I'll try 
something like this as well.

Speaking of which, are there originals of the logotype and logo 
floating around somewhere? I've been keen to clean up some of the 
pixelation (from jpg compression?), but it might be easier just to 
recreate them from the originals than spend the time pushing pixels.
