[yt-dev] Website

[Jeffrey S. Oishi]

Hi Matt,

The website looks outstanding. I really like it. One small thing: in the
examples code/output part, perhaps under the menu bar it could list the
current example name (so, "Quick Calculations" for the default) and label
the panes "input" and "output". It might help people understand what the
website is showing, since code examples like that are not super common.

Otherwise, it's really great. Nice work!
