I know ;) - you answered the question later on when defining "proper 
theme". I just wondered as those pages aren't exactly so identical atm.

Ok, getamarok.com will be just a place to download Amarok and a linklist 
to other Amarok sites? And it should have the same visual appearance as 
the rest of the sites? Continued @ minisite...

Ok, that is going to be bit harder. But I can manage it.

Or should getamarok.com include some hot features of Amarok, lots of 
screenshots of A2 in action etc. That's what I meant with a minisite: 
Shouting out loud the key features with a visual apprearance which is 
even more colourful and attractive than the main site. And having of 
course the vital download links. A minisite musn't have all the menus 
and usual function of a website, it should just look very very 
attractive and shout out loud to the user: DOWNLOAD ME! LIKE ME! LOVE 
ME! ADVERTISE ME TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS!
