I need to correct a mistake I made in this post (sorry for replying to my
own question). The site-specific skin keeps its skin specific logo in the
skin directory and the skin code uses <?php $this->text('stylepath') ?>/<?
php $this->text('stylename') ?> to get to that directory. So, the url is
not hardwired.
However, we would like to keep all of the logos in one place, so I think
the question is still pertinent.
