Theme notes:
The random quote that appears in the banner area is actually a center-right block, which means you can't use center-right blocks on the rest of the site. You could put a news ticker, stock quotes, or anything else up there, as long as the height of the block isn't so big as to wreck the banner area.

When a user or admin logs in to the site, the View Account Edit Account, Logout, and Admin Menu links (which normally appear in the User Menu) appear in the same row where the Register Now link appears. Therefore, I have hacked the User Menu to show only Notifications and Inbox, and have renamed the User Menu to "Messaging."
