> Whimsy is turning into a larger collection of useful tools, both for 
> organizational processes as well as informational sites used by a wide 
> variety of people.
> It would be very helpful for users to provide a small bit of consistency in 
> look and feel, headers, footers, and the like without unduly changing the 
> general concept of "each tool is independent".
> My first thought would be to either:
> - Override a couple of the Wunderbar methods, perhaps with a very simple set 
> of options, that would output one of a small set of default header blocks & 
> CSS (think the logo, plus a small hamburger menu pointing at a.o, w.a.o, and 
> a Help page)
> - Create new helper functions in ASF that can be easily used in any existing 
> scripts with a similar _syntax.  
> _h1First.maxheader 'title' 
> would output a header div that could be styled with the logo, default 
> hamburger menu, and the title in a consistent way.  .minheader would instead 
> output just the logo and title, nothing else.
> Similar for:
> - Footer (we should have a license, pointer to /about, or /help or "how to 
> submit questions" links)
> - Standardize on a couple of table styles
> We don't need a full website framework, but a few bits of commonality would 
> improve the user experience as well as simplify the learning path for new 
> Whimsy contributors.
