Changing
You can see that I’ve changed the theme of this blog.
I liked the other design, but it was getting in the way of what I wanted to do. So I went with a simpler theme and locked all the pages into the master theme.
Then I thought, why not put the old teknologi site banner in? I had to shrink it a bit but it sort of fit. That’s when I realized I hadn’t put in the logo link on this blog. While I was doing that, I thought why not make the visual header the link instead of just the logo?
Since I still wasn’t happy with the site logo, I rotated the reduced part and stuck it in the title field under the page sidebar. I went back to the small teknologi logo for the site logo.
Then I thought I should probably do the same to the other two sites. And as long as I was changing the HTML on the master index pages, I really should move the other site badges and the LibraryThing links to the bottom the sidebar under the site navigation stuff.
That was simple enough.
And it was fairly easy to do to all three sites. Now all the internal navigation is higher up on the sidebar like it belongs.
