Ok, based on both your and Ivan's comments I modified a bit more. http://i.imgur.com/cumLj.png
Making the top columns and the lower columns the same width looks bad, but I agree that the large margin between the blurb and the Documentation headline was too large. After I changed that, however, the Documentation section and the News sections did not line up anymore which looked even worse when the news section had a different background colour. So instead the background colour is used for the quicklinks. Removing any use of a background colour would makes things too boring, though. I also swapped the heading colour and the title bar colour. So headings are now a very dark blue. The italic things in the blurb are actually not links (though they could be). Without any styling the blurb would look too boring, so I'm using the same blue that the title bar uses.
