<br>
Holy smokes all two websites! ;-) I’m sorry y’all, I only became aware of this today, and was using the <a href="http://www.crnofmc.org" target="_blank">www.crnofmc.org</a> in blogs etc. I wonder how many peple have already visited this site? <br>
<br>
I’m no web guru (in terms of the inner workings of a website) but I do offer my thoughts for your consideration. I also asked our web folks here their thoughts as its their job to get folks to visit, and be active on the site and to feel inspired to take action. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.crnofmc.org/" target="_blank">http://www.crnofmc.org/</a> will cost us $50/year<br>
Is beautiful, professional and very engaging for people coming to the site I feel a sense of community. This is important, as we want folks to use the site, return to the site and spend time cruising the site, sharing the site and finding what they need. I don’t think $50 (which has already been spend, I’m assuming) is much money. Photos speak volumes, and the ability to have photos is helpful for folks who are visual in nature, which is most people. I wonder, for the dial-up folks, if the replacement of the videos with links to videos would make this more user-friendly. <br>
I think for all the purposes we have a website, this does an excellent job, the question is, can it be made more accessible for dial-up people? <br>

free<br>
Very functional, content is certainly there, and I appreciate that. Clearly for dial-up folks this is a good website to use. <br>
<br>
Let me know what you all decide so I can get materials made for you with the appropriate website. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best, <br>
Shannon <br>

Please look over both websites and vote on them. <br>
<a href="http://www.crnofmc.org/" target="_blank">http://www.crnofmc.org/</a> will cost us $50/year<br>
<a href="http://www.crnmc.org/" target="_blank">http://www.crnmc.org/</a> free<br>
<br>
Please consider these 4 factors:<br>
1) Complete content<br>
2) Ease of use<br>
3) Ease of access for those with dial-up<br>
4) How attractive. <br>
<br>
We work on a consensus model. We need to know ASAP. Shannon is holding up the presses until we decide as a group so she can have the correct website on the literature. <br>
VOTE NOW! <br>
