Ok, I took a look and I did create a codepen so that anyone can look
at/edit it really easily. Here is the pen (you can edit it by clicking the
link in the bottom left):
http://codepen.io/joshcartme/full/wIcxp
(I hotlinked the css/js files from the dev site, hopefully that's not a big
deal Steve).
So far my only css change is:
.dropdown-menu{
overflow: auto;
height: 100%;
}
To make it so there is only a scrollbar if needed and so that the sidebar
spans the full page width. I also moved the language selector dropdown to
the top and made it an element in the ul.
Thoughts?
