Just wondering if future templates could be a little more SEO, I have come across this great joomla seo tutorial, Its all about pushing the main joomla content up to the top of the index file so that it gets better spidered by the search engines:
it is a good idea to have your content up there but its not critical and will not effect your rankings at any search engine if you put a link to a site map at the very bottom of your page (footer)
content is king when it comes to search engines there is no doubt but the thinkg is wherever your content is the spiders will find it. but very close to content is links and the footer of your website is very important.
