Combining ids and classes is great because it means that blocks can look different depending where they are on the page, without defining new templates.

Peter,

I really like what you've done.  Think we could come up with more 
unique names before committing to cvs?  I used cruickshank.biz on the 
demo at phpslash.org.

The default topic images and the " Also under" text really are the 
only things I see messed up.  Do you have any updates to this?
 
thanks,

Joe
