<p>Those two bars at the bottom are very much related anyway.
Putting them in a single footer bar would probably look better.</p>

<div>Hey Kyle (and others),<br>
<br>
I was able to work on the website refresh yesterday and
there's now a mockup of navigation. Currently, it looks
like this: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

This is in no way final, so please send your ideas if you
think you can improve.<br>

I'm 15 but I can assure you I know how to code CSS
and HTML5.<br>
I hold 2 certifications, one in Adobe Photoshop
CS5, as well as one in<br>
Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. I'd like to also note that
I am going for my<br>
Adobe Flash CS5 certification and hope to get it
soon. I like linux and<br>
most important to me is the XFCE flavor that I do
run on an old PC. I do<br>
have some works on the web, in fact I'm going to
Nationals in California<br>
this year for FBLA in the Web Design event. I
know, you think just<br>
because I have a Dreamweaver certification means I
don't actually know<br>
how to code what-so-ever, but I actually always
code with Notepad++<br>
because I don't like the drag and drop software
environment that<br>
Dreamweaver creates, along with the annoying bugs
you sometimes have to<br>
comb your document for.<br>

Don't worry; we don't judge people based on their
age or certificates they may or may not have. All
contributions are welcome as long as they make sense
and the community can agree on the results they
bring with them.<br>

I already have a couple ways for integration of
social networking<br>
into your site. One way would be to add a Twitter
app where you have<br>
Xubuntu Twitter Feed on your site, perhaps on the
homepage? Another<br>
thing you can add to increase Xubuntu's networking
would be to add a<br>
Facebook Like button, a Google+ button, and a
Twitter button if you will<br>
which I'm not sure if you know this but a Twitter
button is included on<br>
the Twitter Feed you can integrate.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
This is something the web/marketing/Xubuntu team
should discuss in general.<br>
<br>
So far we haven't specifically worked to get much of
the social networking showing on the site. This is
partly because we only recently set up most of the
social networking sites. On the other hand, while
the social networking outlets are "official", they
are community-run and we aren't controlling their
content too much. While we trust the administrators,
it's not certain that all communication and comments
made on the social networks is something we want to
automatically integrate to our website.<br>
<br>
If we decide to add things like this, it should be
easy enough with existing WordPress plugins.<br>

Also, I'd like to point out that you guys don't
really have a full<br>
navigation bar on your site making a lack in
usability.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
We are constantly working on the site and even as I
write this mail, we're under process for
improvements on the site. However, all feedback is
welcome: do you have any mockups or ideas for the
navigation bar?<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0
.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Another<br>
suggestion I have is that you can add more
pictures to your site in the<br>
tour and inside the changing image slider on the
homepage; because<br>
people really want to see you glorify the project
and most of all,<br>
potential users need to know the look and feel of
the software, and<br>
pictures of the Xubuntu user interface are a good
way to go.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I agree!<br>
<br>
As long as somebody takes more screenshots which are
recent, we're good to add them. In addition, we're
working to make the frontpage slider images slightly
bigger with the next website update.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0
.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I hope some<br>
of these ideas show some of the creative skills I
can contribute to the<br>
team.<br>
I feel like getting involved in this project
can help me build a<br>
portfolio and help me in my future.I am a
technology enthusiast and I<br>
love coding HTML. I don't claim to know everything
but I would love to<br>
expand my knowledge by contributing some work for
an open source<br>
organization where anyone can get involved and
share ideas.<br>

<br>
Open source can definitely help with your CV as long
as it isn't your only (or primary) goal.<br>

About joining teams and getting access to resources:
we generally have a "contributions before
membership" policy. In other words, start following
development discussions, get familiar with the
community processes and people and when you've been
around a while, get your hands dirty [1].<br>
<br>
Welcome to our community!<br>
