You can just put an invisible text link to the homepage at the top left corner of where the background banner is, and define the width and height of the linked text to match the width and height of the link. So the banner is not actually the link; it just looks like it is.

Well, as far as the questions about what people liked or didn’t like, I guess there wasn’t a whole lot. The main dislike some people had were that I had a lot of pictures in my episode review posts (thus I guess spoiling the episode for them…though the review itself would do that too), though I guess my main response to that is kind of “tough” heh.

I think the thing that helped the most was the question where I asked people to rate, from 1 to 4, the importance of certain items on the site. That was pretty important in driving what went there. It helped push RSS to the top, since that was one of the more important things, and largely drove what went into the Navigation sidebar thing, as well as the order of the sidebar.

I had to compromise on some things, but the order I came up with ends up making some sense to me, and was kind of aligned with the sentiment of the responses I was getting.

I had thought of doing that. I guess I can look into it. The image is set as a background image, so I’ll have to figure out a way to do it, but good suggestion.

(and I’m not really sure why this comment was put into moderation lol)
