The logo looks awfully like a fixed graphic.

I happen to very much like that in the current design all the text is text
and that can be nicely enlarged as I see fit.

moving the search box down adds to the dead space.

one column might be allright two columns designs are usually look terribly
cluttered and disorganised.  they also result in a lot of dead space if
the center column is longer than the sidebars (which it usually is).

I dont think I said thank you enough when we changed to the current desing
and had things nicely organised in horizontal rows and I would be very
wary of changes to the structure of the site but I have no issues with
changing the Style of the site.
