bulletTest all emails - Brian

-In progress

bulletGet web pages put together to share ideas and family contact list - Suzanne

-DONE.

-First draft done. Making minor adjustments after feedback. Problem with the discussion groups.  After 2 hours with Microsoft's Tech Support, it looks like the problem is with the Yahoo/Geocities Front Page (FP) server installation and server extensions.  Have sent 2 reports on this to them.  Waiting response.  If discussion groups are important, we'll have to move the web site to Yahoo for full FP support.  Cost will be $15/mo. Let's discuss after I get the info back from Yahoo/Geocities.  This will also remove the want ads that flash on each new web page that anyone visits.

-All now works. Upgraded services to Yahoo Web services. Problems. All working now. Basically, I didn't get out of my 'nighty' for 2 days. Lots of issues.

bulletGet web pages reviewed - Rick/Suzanne/Bob B/Brian/Robbie P.

-DONE.  All OK.  Robbie had lots of technical suggestions and made them all, except to make the 2 pictures on the home page smaller.  If anyone feels strongly about this, please let me know.
