I went looking for where you put these, and found that the navigation bar  
on the left is very inconsistent.  For example, the community box for the  
main D page (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html) has just 3 links in  
it, whereas the D2 page (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/index.html) Has  
the forums link expanded into it's own box.  However, I don't see the news  
link unless I click on "Links" in the Community box.

It might be worth seeing how you can auto-generate the side bar instead of  
hand editing it.  This can cut down on the inconsistency and also make the  
web site easier to navigate.
