Yes, but not very thoroughly. (I was wanting to check that the default view I was seeing was 
intentional, it looked odd to me, and I have had problems in the past where either Firefox or Tomcat 
was preventing me seeing the effects of changes to template/css files...)

The title re-arranging itself worked quite well in Firefox, but IE6 wasn't great.
