I added a google search on the top of the side bar.. looks really nice I think if we remove the 'Advertisements' block, keep the ads in the bottom and both google search boxes in the website, it will be awesome. Not too agressive.
What do you think ? if no answer by tomorrow, we'll move that to the 'real page'... By the way, I just noticed that for some reason, the rounded boxes around the side panel blocks and the news blocks are not right on IE...someone with CSS knowledge should fix that...
