Navigation Bar (Coming Real Soon Now)
I find a navigation bar like that at the bottom of this page difficult to maintain. Each time I add pages, I find I have to update the navigation bar on all the other pages. In practice, I don't bother, so you may see older pages here that have no direct navigation to the newer pages.

It seems that it should be possible to include a bar like this as an include file. When doing an update, it should only be necessary to change this file. This javascript has to smart enough to:
  • Deactivate the link for the current page
  • Correctly position the little 'You are here' arrow on each page
  • Adjust the width of the horizontal rule (the line above the menu)  to match the width of the menu line
Apart from jotting down these thoughts, I haven't done anything about this yet.
