Nate, Minor point but today I was several layers deep in MA and so I wanted to just get to the splash page. When I hovered my rodent across the top graphic it didn't appear to link, then I noticed its just in the middle section that's a bit of a dead spot. The left third and the right third are fine. No biggie, just an FYI
I think that is how it is made, so that the top banner works on different width screens. The two sides are anchored and there is a "filler" section in the middle.
