Ok kids, time to get back to it

So what's going on here? Do we know what still has to be done? I plan to get my writing done this week, hopefully by Wednesday, but I'm all set to get your updates posted whenever they come in. That's if I can get the site to actually work.

Did you guys get the list of suggestions from John? If not, here it is with some thoughts:

-Do you want to have your navigation bar larger and on top? **Not really; I think we should make the buttons at the bottom bigger as suggested, but a menu at the top will divert users from the image map. I would like to make the "explore the farm" button more attractive.

- this just occurs to me - one possible structure is to have the home page "Craigflower" which leads you to "Craigflower Connections" - Dan's great graphical interface **I think this will be the intro page--which we have yet to write--with details about the farm, the project, etc, and I do like the idea of having another link within that page to the image map, perhaps in the navigation instructions or something

- indicate the "nickname" as well as name of person in your images Bartleman
The Blacksmith ***Sounds good, I'll see how easy it is to edit the image map

- some space around edge of text, perhaps larger text ***Right-o

- some about us section ***In the works, right? I'll add something about myself along the lines of yours

- do you want to have a page that describes the PSAC? ***Will be on the McKenzie page

Also, John did send a bigger copy of the background image from the map, which looks pretty good, but I'm not too sure how we can incorporate it. It does have some nice colours, so I might see about using it as a background or something.

I don't know what you guys are up to, or what other ideas you have, so let me know and let's get this thing done :)

I am really hoping to get the site working online, but if it looks like it's going to take some fiddling I might leave it for awhile as I make the bigger changes to save on the amount of times I have to mess with it. If this happens I'll make sure to give you plenty of time to look over things.
