Hi Dr. B, Besides just the aspects of design, I would like to highlight that content management systems usually do RSS feeds which is incredibly important in my opinion to help users keep informed of news, as well as search facilities for searching a site. Whether Drupal or other system is used, these things are good to keep mind besides just the design. steven On Nov 29, 2007 11:21 PM, Dr. Richard Boulanger wrote: > Steven, > > Thanks for the suggestions - and the push toward redesign.
