Well, it works. Anyway, I would just leave out the two boxes - we have a
news page for news and a screenshot page for screenshots, do we really
need to display them on the main page again?

They also create lots of unneccessary XTML overhead by adding a number
of <div/> elements.

Just my two cents,
