I discovered something very cool that you can do with smarty. With smarty you can cycle through classes. I setup my left menu to cycle through header images for the corresponding block titles. I was kinda sick of the way that you were limited to just the block header and image background. I stumbled across the cycle code whilst looking at the polls template.
You can see what I mean by checking out the site.

Then just create the separate classes in the css for your block headers. Works very slick. The only thing that I noticed is that if you have blocks that are controlled by permissions, then it wont work properly then. Blocks that don't have permissions, work like a champ.
P.S. Thanks Brash for the comp and the suggestions!!
