[Dev-flock] min/max removed from hm_demo (production site) --- causing errors

[Clay Ward]

Hey, I believe that the "feedback" link got lost along the way in the new
iteration.  Any chance we could get that back up?

Something in the menu bar linking to it would work.  Here's the sample html
that survey monkey provides:  <a href="
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=pwAXDzy9ysZ3rQsWotZGYg_3d_3d
">Feedback</a>

Great job, guys.

Woo!
