Hi Clayton, all, I had a look at the source code of the new main page and found that at least one of my suggestions had already been implemented - except that CSS typos stopped them from having any effect - e.g. fontsize instead of font-size, margin-botton instead of margin-bottom. So I have gone through the code, fixed the typos, and added a few minor styles of my own (mostly padding adjustments to improve spacing). This includes the Top 10 template.
