Re: [Gnue-dev] Web site changes

[Jason Cater]

Peter, 

Great job on getting this done.  This will really help us get a grip on our 
website needs. 

For the <ul> imagines, you can add this to your <style type="text/css"> 
section:

    ul {      line-height: 1.5em;     
               list-style-image: url("../e_ball.png");     
               margin-left: 2em;
               padding:0;
    }

Though I'm not entirely sure how that relative path will work in stylesheets. 
You might have to have your script determine how many levels of ../ you need. 

When the time comes, I can get the cron jobs working on ash for you.  Just 
/msg me in irc or email me.
