The logo looks better now - centered with the whitespace. Thanks for your work on this!

Hi Steve,

I replaced the logo, you can see the logo along with others at: 
http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/choose-a-project/mapping-and-cartography/mapping-services/

Regarding logo and project title redundant: this is the template for all 
projects, developed by an external company.  You will notice that all 
project pages are like this.

Therefore, for now, yes we are stuck to the 2 or 3 column display, in 
this WordPress template.  Once I get full backend access (to edit the 
template for all projects) I will experiment with more changes, but for 
now we are limited to using this project template, sorry.

Regarding the "Who's Involved" section, this is a wordpress-thing, 
meaning that those are the registered wordpress users who have specified 
that they are involved in the project.

Let me know if you want a WordPress account, I can create it for you - 
then you get a nice picture in that who's involved section ha.  Let me know.

Do we have to stick with a two-column display or could we somehow use the logo in place of the page title? For instance, I could see  plopping the logo in a white div above the intro paragraph that runs the width of the green content block (inside the gutter), letting the paragraph run that same width and then pushing the website button below that.
