I have not looked into it, but this part of the website seems to handle a local look and feel, along with the site-wide parts: http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html Maybe reading through the way it was done here might help: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/product/ It looks like they did it entirely as Markdown Text. But that is a minor detail. The real magic happens here, I think, where the site templates are defined: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/templates/ Note especially: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/templates/product/ssi.mdtext Ah, and that then points back to: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/product/leftnav.mdtext I'd recommend poking around. Or, if you think the look and feel of the "product" part of the website is good, maybe even just copy that and change the content of the left navigator to reflect the links that you want to highlight? -Rob > jan > > On 31 October 2012 19:42, Rob Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 2:14 PM, jan iversen <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Rob: I did not quite understand the part about google analytics, should I >> > change something ?? >> > >> >> I'd like to hear what Dave thinks on this.
