A very small thing to pick on, but sometimes getting the little things right is an important part of looking professional.  At the moment, the entries in the website's navigation bar are in the order "About, Blog, Home, FAQ, Forum".  To me it feels like the "Home" entry should always come first – this is where people will expect to find it.  I think an order like "Home, About, FAQ, Blog, Forum, Wiki" or something like it feels a bit more natural in its progression.  The home page is first, and the rarely changing things that newcomers will want to read first (about, FAQ) come next, followed by more transient things.

Any thoughts?

That looks a lot better to me, thanks for your prompt action!  However, it looks like the "Blog" link actually points to the FAQ page?

Checked my mail, thanks very much for the priveleges!

Do you have any objections to me rearranging the forum groups/sections?  If not I'll get started on that right away.

Go ahead, that is the reason I gave you the priveleges. I will be busy for a day or two and dont want the project to stall.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like FAQ should be last-

Home About Blog Forum Wiki FAQ

Maybe it's just me, but since we're discussing it, I thought I'd through it out there.

I think people would be interested in reading the FAQ first, since it will answer most of thier questions.

My intuition is that things should be somewhat clustered by degree of fundamentalness and staticness.  Things like blogs, forums and wikis which are moving targets covering wide ranges of subject should come *after* things which are relatively static and specific.  I would put FAQ in the static group, just like "Home" and "About".
