fluid project website questions

[Michael S Elledge]

Strictly speaking, links should not be duplicated on a web page. I guess 
I would vote for not making the logo a link if you already have a Home 
button.

Otherwise, it's probably not that big a deal, so long as you label it 
correctly with an alt tag saying "Home Page."
