to the entire mailing list.

OK, here's today's changes:

1.  Reorganized the home page into sections for better legibility.

2.  Added discussion forums and a link from the home page.  You have to create
an id to post.

3.  Added links to the mailing list subscription and archive pages.

4.  Added a chat room.

I've got a list of e-mail addresses started
(http://righetti72.com/email.html).  I was thinking that I would link them
into the "Keeping in Touch" section.  One thing that worries me is that
publishing e-mail addresses on web pages can sometimes lead to spammers
getting hold of them.  I could munge the addresses by doing something like
btanner at pobox dot com but that makes it harder for people to use.  I could
also try password protecting the list and giving the password on the home
page.  That would make it impossible for an e-mail harvesting program to find
them (I think).  Your thoughts?

We also need to decide if we want to just add everyone to the mailing list. 
Valerie was thinking that because the initial message tells you how to
unsubscribe that nobody would get worked up about it.  I could add a link to
the home page in the Welcome page which would help get information about the
page out  Your thoughts?

Diane found a good looking site that we could could steal ideas from at
