Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Chowse finished designs for the new detail pages.  You can see the finished product[1] and code[2].

If you click "First Run" at the top you'll see a friendly banner welcoming people to AMO.  We should show this banner to people who haven't been to AMO before (very similar to the intro promo on the front page).  We've done this before by incrementing a counter in a cookie.  Rules:

- Never show the banner on the home page
- If no cookie exists, show the banner and set the counter to 1
- If counter > $num, don't show the banner (and you can stop incrementing the counter)
- If the person hits the [x], hide the banner and set the counter to $num+1

What is $num?  I don't know.  3? 5?  There is debate going on about it right now, but I've had this bug written in a tab for hours now and I feel like I'm tempting fate that the browser won't crash.  So, look for that answer in the comments below.

Let's keep this on a separate branch until we're ready for QA - I don't want this to block our other code from going out.

This is not just for the detail page, btw.
