1. Added a preloader for rollover menu buttons. Also scaled the buttons down a bit to improve load time.
Good.

Good. Now make that search box more visually appealing. Now it's quite plain. Remember that it's one of the key features of your site. It's should be eye-catching and attractive. Make it to match the rest of the site. Add CSS to the editbox and button.

Good. You could keep it though in just the pages that actually had a sidebar with a conditional. Anyway, no harm done, it was pretty useless IMHO.

I didn't doubt the search function. I just wanted to make you realise the importance of keywords. Make keywords obligatory.

Nice. Now make them a little nicer. You're a web designer, remember? (I saw that in your profile).
