That seems to be a common web convention and I didn't really like the 
"navigation" buttons of the original site, especially since it didn't 
seem intuitive where they would go.   I have considered adding a "Home" 
label to the logo space, but I'm not convinced it's necessary.

Yeah, I still have most of the generated documentation to do.  I've been 
focusing on reorganizing the "static" pages.

It looked weird to me without something to balance the logo in the 
header.  And the large version seemed appropriate only on the main page 
given how much vertical real-estate it takes up. Though when I get the 
small screen styles written, I will probably hide him on all pages.

Yeah, I'm planning to write a small screen style where the section 
headers will take up probably the full width of the screen.

Not sure on that.  I rarely changed font size.  We'll look at it more 
when I get to the small screen style. Font sizes will change more in 
those style.

Yeah, the original news item just had the transparent black logo, and 
the extra HTML to choose the dark mode logo seemed like too much HTML 
for a news item, so I did a white background image of the black logo 
since that seems to be the "canonical" form, but I could change it.


Also since you tried multiple browsers (some of which I don't have 
access to) did the alternate list markers show up on all browsers?  I 
was a little concerned some browsers would have trouble with the 
expanded "emoji" Unicode.
