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

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 ;-)
