Thanks, Rich. I agree that we had some stale news up there. I think I
checked the other day, and one of our recent news stories was about
Feisty Herd 2. :-) <br><br>Maybe we could assign certain people to
updating certain parts of the website. Right now all updates just
seems to be between you and Freddy, and it's not so fair to each of
you, given your other commitments. Let's keep this in mind for our
next meeting. :)

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?
