Comments

• I'm not sure I understant what "lay-out proposed by the company" means. -- mongolito404

  • jean7491:
  • IMHO, the content of the insertion should be limited, for this reason I listed elements elements, limiter the size of the logo (max. size 100x100 px, is it correct ?),
  • I imagine (but I'm not sure) that some companies have their own ideas about how announcement and link should appear and wish to propose a lay-out,
  • on the other hand, Ubuntu-be website admin will decide the lay-out of the page, how announcements and the links will appear on the webpage. Such a sentence is missing. We have no obligation to accept a proposed lay-out,
  • and with such added sentence, we better cancel "lay-out proposed by the company".
