engl ISE : added h5 and h6 css selectors

Cam had some h5 and h6 elements in the documentation files (I suspect the h level is derived by the XSLT from the nesting of the actual elements in the data files), but I could find no selectors for those elements in the css. So, wrote a selector for each to make them consistent with the h1 through h4 headings.
Emailed Martin in case those modifications had some unknown implications.

engl ISE : proposed host/domain scheme

Here's the summary of how things stand and what we want to happen with each of the host and domain names used by ISE.

In the new scheme we will have the domain ise.uvic.ca underlying all the production sites. For the development sites, do we have the same domain underlying all the production sites or a separate domain (e.g. isedev.uvic.ca)? In the stuff below, I'm assuming a separate isedev.uvic.ca domain for dev sites.
The proposal uses only 1 IP address, rather than the current 4. Greg and Evan's bunch may need to talk further about actual hardware setup (servers, load balancers etc.) and number of IP addresses needed.

Priorities from ISE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

However we restructure, we _must_ keep these domains:
- internetshakespeare.uvic.ca
- dre.internetshakespeare.uvic.ca
- qme.internetshakespeare.uvic.ca
- ise.uvic.ca
- isechronicle.uvic.ca
- digitalrenaissance.uvic.ca

In addition, we need unique domains for beta versions of both ISE and
DRE (currently, these are isebeta.uivc.ca and drebeta.uvic.ca).

In the future, we may need to add additional sub-sites (eg.
xyz.internetshakespeare.uvic.ca) with a related beta domain for each.

As Michael already explained, it's important that we keep the ISE
branding on all sub-site domains. digitalrenaissance.uvic.ca is the
only exception to this, but even it should be redirecting to an
ISE-branded domain. We _should not_ be creating additional *.uvic.ca
domains in the future.

etcl : inke.ca virtual domain name working

Asked sysadmin about my request to get inke.ca pointed to the wp blog, which had been languishing for weeks. They got back an hour later with the change made.
Then had to make modifications to a couple of tables in the back-end database.

The navigational superstructure relies on two values in the wp_options table
change value of siteurl to http://inke.ca
change value of home to http://inke.ca

The guid field of the wp_posts table contains absolute URLs to the post, so I had to issue the following SQL query to set those to the desired domain name:
UPDATE `wp_posts`
SET guid=(
REPLACE (guid,
'inke.uvic.ca/',
'inke.ca/'));

Set up new Trials db for JW

Set up a new db for JW, who needs it urgently, using AdaptiveDB codebase. Made a couple of additions to the codebase (maintenance script).
