OVERVIEW
===============================================================================

ADVIS Page Header is a customizable replacement of the standard SharePoint
Portal page header, including a logon button for anonymous users.
It allows you to show only those page header elements you want: 
- Show/hide an image on the left side, linked to the portal home.
- Show/hide the "My Site" link with either a custom title
  (i.e. "My Homepage") or the logged in user name as title
- Show/hide the "Site Settings". In any case, the Site Settings link is
  only shown for users who are member of the "Administrator" Site Group. 
- Show/hide the Help link.
- Show/hide a Logon Button for anonymous users.
