Takeaways from the brown-bag lunch

Learned a couple of things worth recording:

The link to the faculty-specific styles is stored in /assets/blocks/layout-site-scripts. However, the thing that caused me to fail to find it when looking was that the block of HTML is of course in the <head> tag, and therefore has no wysiwyg display in the editor; so it looks as though there's nothing there. If you click on the HTML button to see the code, though, you'll see something like this:
```
<link href="[system-asset:local]site://UVicCa/assets/css/humanities.css[/system-asset:local]" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="/assets/css/humanities.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="[system-asset:local]/thesite/assets/css/site-styles.css[/system-asset:local]" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
```
The default news page is set up so that it uses a block which by default parses the content in the sibling current folder. Inside there are stored blocks created using New / UVic pages / News item. Create a new item for a new piece of news to show up on the page; then move them to the archive folder when they're done. I'm still not sure of the best way to integrate this with the Events calendar feed block, which is what I put on this page in the French site.
