Hello, Jason. Your skin may be good for promotion, but it is not good for presentation of information: the service menu offupy the most of screen, while only small part of the brouser frame is used for the main text.
I am not so skillful in writing scripts; yet I could not make the ShortURL work, nor even make a workable copy of existing skin "Vector". So, I modify "Vector"; you may look at the result at http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/t
This may give you an idea, how the page should be designed: The most of space is reserved for the original text, and only narrow strips at the top and at the left are occupied by the menu.
I'm sorry to tell you that your skin is unreadable in Firefox 21 on ubuntu 12.04: the first letter(s) of each line of each menu is (are ?) out of the frame.
It looks as if you're using negative absolute positionning (e.g. "left: -38px;") on the menu ...
As for ShortURL, it seems to be working more or less on your test wiki but you seem to have something wrong in the template $wgShortUrlTemplate.
For instance:
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/2
is a ShortURL that redirects correctly to http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test
Likewise http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1 redirects to the Mediawiki:Sidebar it seems, and http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/3 to http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test1
on each of these pages there is a link "Short URL" in the toolbox. That link is messed up though. I would suggest that something might have to be fixed in $wgShortUrlTemplate.
The Main page does not seem to have that Short URL link, but I don't know if it's a bug or a feature of this extension (Main Page has its own very short url as http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php )
Maybe re-run populateShortUrlTable.php ?
Hope it helps,
Alexis ps: I'm absolutely not related to ShortURL extension, just trying to help a bit with whatever I know ;-)
