Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
1. Everyone, I will experiment with the modal idea over Christmas break. Interesting.
2. Tobias, the links are to future files. This is only the first file I have created. I already was planning on removing those links for the moment. Actually they are in there for my sake, not for others. They are there so that I will be methodical about file names.
4. Tobias, I always forget about doing CSS for hover colors. A blind spot of mine. I will try to get to that. I didn't understand your comment "Also, not sure how you implemented those buttons, but I would personally
have them the same color as the core, and before the "more" dropdown...
but that's just my 2cts." To which buttons are you referring? The new here buttons? If so, I made them a different color from the default viewtoolbar button so they would be quick to spot and use. Otherwise it was a long row of similarly colored icons. Also, they are before (to the left of) the more dropdown in the toolbar. Not sure what you are saying.
Blessings all,
Dave
