The items in the layout are as follows:

This is common to every page and is customized to the user

Here is a link to the bug tracker page to make it convenient to report problems with the site

The logo is a link to the main EDGE node as a way to "back out" and get to familiar territory

This is the list of user's observed projects

Header
