What are you expecting <a href="http://ale.org" target="_blank">ale.org</a> to do? Really the only purpose it has<br>
is to inform people of the meetings and allow them to sign up for the<br>
mailing list. In the several years I've been participating in the<br>
list, I've been to the website only a few times. I could probably<br>
count the number of times on both hands.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Hi James,<br><br>What I want to do is totally presentational only. I totally understand the action is in the mailing list and I do not want to change that in any way. To be honest, I think the site looks ugly and there are some User Experience things I'd like to change. Other than that, the site will still have the same information... maybe a blog section, but not needed. I just want the site to look prettier, keeping up with the "times". :D<br clear="all">
