Added icons / links for help in the 'what is this?' and 'contribute' sidebars
08-February-2006
You should notice 2 new icons in the main sidebars: [ 
] in the 'What is this? sidebar is meant to point to help content that explains what the user is looking at and how to do basic navigation. [ 
How to contribute ] in the Contribute sidebar is meant to point to help content that explains how logged-in members can post, reply, and set themselves up for making the most out of the weblog's features.
We still need to write the content for these help topics. My intention is that the help content will open in the quick-view area ( like the add-new-entry form does ). I think we can and should write quick-tips "cheat sheets" quite quickly, and then elaborate on these at our leisure. I'll be trying to get those cheat-sheets written today (though I have a stinking chest cold which is weakening the old brain-power).
Please note that these 2 icons/links join 2 that already exist - the little 
icon in the "posted info" pane under every blog entry points to a quick-tips sheet explaining the other posted-info icons and basic actions like replying, sharing a permalink etc ( this content needs updating ). And the blog_forum view has a prominent 
icon, intended to point to help for using the forum view; the content for this still needs to be written as well.
I welcome ideas about how best to approach creating the content to match these help topics / icons :o)
