I'm a lurker from Carleton (since I'm the only web designer here it's nice to be plugged in to a larger scene!) but we do have a standard header used on most pages.

Yes, we are putting it, in its entirety, first. Though there's not that much to it -- a few links and a search box.

Matt,

Thanks for the reply.

Are you using the university's header? If so, are you putting it, in its entirety, first?
