Putting home links in the header

One problem with architecting the site as 9 blogs is that the header of the pages only has a link to the blog index.html page, not rako.com. There must be a better way, but for now I just changed all the banner header template files to the code below.
[Update 30May2011] Don't use this code. It causes phantom links to show up in the body of your pages. The header text that works is here.

I commented out the if-than-else loop, since darned if I could figure out why they used it. Next was to ad the animated rako.com image with a link to the home page. l also added a link to the the Contents page. Although you should use the stylesheets to control how these links display, the default stylesheets are so convoluted I just added right alignment in the above html code. When I am more confident, I will rip out the default stylesheets and do my own, That will be part of the appearance phase of the project, which will come last, after I get the content in pretty good shape.

The headache is that you have to do this for each of the blogs, then re-publish all the entries.
