Started working on the History site. The site itself seems to have been provisioned without any of the Humanities-specific styles, banner logos etc.; I've asked DW about this, because I can't find anywhere I could change it myself. I spent a long time trawling around in the configuration and administration areas looking for places where this stuff might be defined, but I can't find it. I'm going to blog all the steps I take building this site, so we have a complete record someone can work from on the next site. Steps today:

• Created /home, where I'm going to store the pages which are tertiary and mirrored on all secondary menus. Eventually remembered that to keep this out of the breadcrumb trail I have to set its navigation to "Ignore" (click on the folder, then Edit / Metadata).
• Created a news page (home/news/index). There appear to be lots of ways to do things related to event calendars, but the only one that seems likely to work is to create a new block (New / UVic Blocks / Dynamic Content / Events Calendar List), and then put in the calendar id from events.uvic.ca. Set the navigation for the page to Tertiary in Edit / Metadata.
• Created the Contact us page (home/contact/index). Added the basic contact details, and set the navigation to Tertiary.
• Created a Courses page (home/courses/index) and set its navigation to Secondary.
