I've seen your HTML source, it's rather more involved than the HTML-3 I
learned to hand-code many years ago. I just used pico to make my
website. Apparently you have a much more complex infrastructure. I'm
not at all sure I CAN make an insertion without messing something up. I
suppose you have some sort of WYSIWYG editor, DocBooks (which I've never
installed nor used) or some such? I dunno.

I've seen some tutorials on the web based in particular distros. And
Gnome has things about devs building apps. But I haven't been able to
find much out there for the end-user that don't soon boil down to "get a
theme online and diddle it."

Many years ago, when I built my first (B)LFS system (the only BLFS book
then was version 1.0), I read the Section on the /usr vs /usr/local
choice. I thought I'd make my "base", i.e. /usr, system as much clean
LFS as would work, and put my additions in /usr/local/*. Most default
to /use/local/ anyway. I just kept doing it. So in that I diverge
from the book, most of the time, by leaving out the "--prefix=/usr".
There have been some packages that just don't want to work from
/usr/local/, so I let them have their way. So there isn't a perfectly
clean division.
One could say my additions, BLFS and otherwise, are (mostly) layered on
top of LFS, not integrated in.
