Cool. Something to note: position 1 works only on the home page, where we have the two columns. Most other page are just a single column. #4 is similar -- it only is on the home page. So if we want something on all pages it The ASF Feather logo -- the policy on this is it can be used to link to the www.apache.org homepage only. Any other use would require permission. It is really intended to represent Apache as a whole, and not any specific project or blog. What about the RSS Feed icon instead? -Rob > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 11:54 PM, Kadal Amutham <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Sorry Samer Mansour, I could not find an attachment. >> >> With Warm Regards >> >> V.Kadal Amutham >> 919444360480 >> 914422396480 >> >> >> On 2 February 2013 10:14, Samer Mansour <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> > Trying again as attachment. >> > >> > >> > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 11:41 PM, Kadal Amutham <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> >> My mail client gmail is not displaying the image >> >> >> >> With Warm Regards >> >> >> >> V.Kadal Amutham >> >> 919444360480 >> >> 914422396480 >> >> >> >> >> >> On 2 February 2013 10:07, Samer Mansour <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >> > Update, I've sent Rob Weir a zip with the experiment pages.
