Look includes usability and accessibility and navigability.


I don't know about Wordpress. It might be useful for  a wrapper for certain 
apps, but I'm not familiar with using or configuring it,  and, I don't know 
how it will work with our database.  


Adding the strategicon twitter feed is easy.

I concede that our photo albums aren't the best, but it was the easiest  
system to incorporate into our site. I'd be happy to switch to something more  
robust if I could figure out how to incorporate it into our site. I'm also  
willing to consider viewing outside our site, but the pictures are not 
leaving  our server.


Do we have a use for a calendar? If so, I'll look into one.

WordPress can be used as an adjunct to a site. Say, click on "News" or  
"Updates" and head over to the WordPress side.
 
As much as look, etc., can be seen as important, attractive, and  
attracting, reliability is top priority in my book. Make anything new  bulletproof.

I would really like to see our board to more the way of Wordpress 
(_http://www.wordpress.com_ (http://www.wordpress.com/) ).
 
 Example of sites in the community that have done this are Bell of Lost 
Souls
 (_http://www.belloflostsouls.net/_ (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/) )
 
 Since they changed over to this format, they have been very successful and
 fresh in their page and dynamics.
 
 Nice thing about wordpress web pages is that you can add twitter feeds to
 the sidebars as well as various photo pages, calendars, etc.

 Since we are starting on the design first, go figure, I will ask again.
 [Yes, I'm sure I have previous suggestions in my to do list if they are
 something I can do.]
 
 How do you want the site to change in overall look?
 What features would you like to see added? Where?
 What features would you like to see removed?
 
 Please be as specific as you can, site examples where ever possible.
 And, if you have an application in mind that we can incorporate into our
 site (easily, i.e. not like the Forum account merge issue) or link to, send
 a url.
 
 Keep in mind, we are always open to suggestions, but implementation 
requires
 time, manpower, mental capacity, and/or knowledge that may not be readily
 available unless you are volunteering.

a
 design. So if you're interested in being involved at any stage of the
 process, from design to implementation, let me know. Depending on how many
 we get and where the talents lie as to how we'll proceed.
