There's the designs on Brett's page at http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/alug/retheme-engine/ and a slightly updated one of mine at http://mjr.towers.org.uk/comp/alugtalk/ -- any others I've missed, or shall we move on?
Thanks,

I was thinking this had gone quiet myself the other day. Probably best to get a general consensus from the list. I actually like MJ's effort the best - it is nice and colourful, and the tux-knight makes me chuckle.
Am I being a dimwit though in saying that I like links to be on the left rather than the right of the screen?

When clicking some of the links on MJ's template, I noticed he had a personalised 404 page. How do I go about doing that myself?

If your webserver supports it, you can put ErrorDocument 404 ... in a .htaccess file, maybe as described on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/custom-error.html
I think my web host (UKHosts) already has site-wide defaults for a file in public_html/errors/404.html or similar.
As to "menu on the left" - I think that's an open question. It seems to depend whether the site's new visitors already know the subject (so want to find the link to the page they want quickly = left-side navigation) or would be helped by some of the content before surfing off (= right-side navigation).
Some of my sites use each and I've got the left/right navigation choice wrong on some. www.thewalks.co.uk has a lot of quite detailed information and uses left-side nav, but feedback tells me that's the wrong choice. People don't seem to find what they're looking for without some introduction. I think most readers of www.alug.org.uk won't know ALUG already, so I'd prefer right-side nav there. Am I goofing again?
Hope that helps,

A nit: eamapsm.png looks to me like it's a west-coast picture. Maybe green for land would be better.
