I'm not sure on the blue and black thing, I need to look through and see if something is missing... I noticed that as well.
I also thought the title thing, but my thinking was that once they scroll down a bit it'll be out of sight anyway, but that is an easy add...
I keep rearranging and I just can't get it so that I'm really happy with it, it's possible it's just because I did it. I'm like that, lol. I know exactly the feel I want the site as a whole to have and I feel like I keep getting close, but just not exactly right.
