Done. Do you think the search box looks okay or should it go elsewhere?

Espertinos are out of luck :)

Just about whatever you want in terms of look and placement.

This may be because you are seeing the story's header. Does clicking the
"Read More" link help? Also noted is Eli's input about the Xconq logo.

Assuming that it's not the logo size (and it probably is as Eli
suggested) then this should be fixed (some tweaking may be required).

Done (if vertical placement makes sense; very easy to change).

Absolutely. It's really easy to do. The Xconq site currently does. Point
your RSS feeder to this link:
http://www.xconq.org/backend.php
I also routinely put RSS feeds in as blocks from other sites. If there
are Xconq related RSS feeds, by all means, do tell!

You could have written and said, "Coop, that is the ugliest color scheme
I have ever seen," and I would have about squealed that you gave such
honest feedback and changed them immediately.
You can try this at home! Simply send a "one liner" that says, "Coop,
that is the ugliest color scheme I have ever seen" and see what happens!

Thanks!
