I like the new layout but I was hoping we can make it more "team related". The news could be updated, member pages added etc. Richard, I can (try) to help out if you ping me tomorrow (when I get back to school and a normal intrawebs connections). On a personal note, I open up a Wordpress account and use that? I have WP mostly because I find it to be slow...thoughts?
