	Thanks for pointing this out, Simon, I just corrected it in r31668.

	You are completely right, they should. Nevertheless, the blog and  
Trac are entities technically separate from our website and many extra  
steps would have to be taken to further integrate them into our new  
design. I'm not saying we wont do it, but rather explaining why we  
haven't. The blog feature is in flux at the moment and its current  
wordpress incarnation will be going away eventually, so there's no  
point in investing any time in improving what we currently have there.  
As for Trac, we're still working on polishing its the functionality  
details (Trac mails, user permissions, etc); once that's done, I'll  
push for the visual integration with the new site.
