One main quirk I've had with using Drupal (and other Open Source CMSs for that matter), is that when I need to do some heavy maintenance and take a site down, the default 'site offline' message looks pretty mickey mouse and though I'm proud of using Drupal, I'd rather have my own logo, if one at all, when people see that my site is down - I mean, it looks as if they've reached some page they shouldn't have and something's seriously messed up.
Well, you don't have to waste much time pondering these things like I have - there are two approaches in Drupal 5 that let you beautify the site offline message, and I recommend you read this post:
About 2/3 of the way down the page you'll see mention of a simple template.tpl.php include which will redirect people to a custom/static page or URL but still allow you to access site login/admin pages. :)
Last note: supposedly Drupal 6 includes phptemplate theming for the maintenance page; I'll try it out and post back soon.

also can't seem to
also can't seem to configure my ie6 sohbet odaları proxy settings. I wish it would just use ie7's proxy settings (which is the same as the internet settings in the control panel). However, this doesn't seem to be the case. IE6's proxy canlı sohbet settings are always blank. Clicking on ok after changing the settings does nothing. Actually clicking ok with making no change at all to the settings still does nothing. IE6 will only let you cancel out of the proxy settings dialog. It sohbet kanalları would really be nice if this could get fixed.

I see nobody has actually answered this question in a way that
newbies would understand. So I thought I would take a crack at it, even
if it is a really old post.
In your includes/theme.inc file is a function called theme_maintenance_page().
To override the output of the default site offline page all you need
to do is copy that function and its contence to your template.php file
in your theme. Then rename the file to phptemplate_maintenance_page()
and then any changes you make to the contents of that function will be
visible and you don’t have to hack core in any way.
Here are some links to the handbook pages to help you with this.

You can edit your document
You can edit your document with a text editor such as Notepad in
Windows. The document needs to be saved with an extension ".htm" or
".html". With this method you will have to write yourself all the tags
in your document. To help beginners and those who don't want to learn
all the tags, some software companies have created tools that put the
tags for you in the document. One of the most used is called FrontPage
from Microsoft. FrontPage is a very friendly editing tool that permits
creating an html document without knowing a single html tag. For
complex documents
