Hello Colleen, Since you requested it...a couple of quick thoughts about your "Plans and Proposals" e-mail. The first thing that came to mind was that I was not clear about several items. Perhaps a little clarification of terms will make a decision easier for "the family". For instance: -I have visited sites that are part of a Web ring, so I have a vague idea what they are, but perhaps an explanation of exactly what it entails would help everyone. -Re the awards program, for whom did you intend the awards? For only those members of the Bower Web ring? -I am sorry for not remembering the meaning of what is obviously a familiar term to everyone but me, but what is "the Continuum?" -What kind of "help with those special requirements" for the Native American project is required? -A logo is a wonderful idea. Perhaps there could be some sort of contest among our artistically-inclined cousins? What is a "compass page"? The first page that you land on in a site (that tells you where to go, I presume)? -Re our own store...a cute idea. Remind me, please, of what the annual domain fees are. -Re the chat room, as you know, I don't chat -- and am not particularly interested in chat. It seems that your low numbers may indicate that it may be tough for others to get to the chat room, too, with any regularity. It might be worth one more effort to see if numbers can be increased, then evaluated. -Is there some way to actually vote on these issues? Lynne
