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?
