Content-Type: BBCode

I like the way the lower backgrounds are all black. And, it's hard to make a gradient over the entire site, since it's of unknown height. Unless you're suggesting the background scrolls with the page, which to me seems like it would look terrible. 

And yeah, I'm thinking to move the digg button to the leftpane. (I have two panes, one is absolute positioned left for pulling out, and the other is floated right).
