I looked again at both. The crnofmc website gets my vote. It's attractive, indeed, quite lovely. I like the embedded videos, the photos, and the contacts page. I can't evaluate the dial-up issue, but in my opinion the two-website idea is not optimal. The website will be our on-line face to the world. It's important that it be engaging, up-to-date, and filled with information in a convenient format. Again, thanks to both webmasters. MStJ. <br></span></div><div> </div><div>Michael St. John

Not quite acurate. If you click on the link next to "community rights<br clear="none">

the <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.crnofmc.org/">www.crnofmc.org</a> site. Either site can have videos. Whether they<br clear="none">

</div>Alas it is hardly ever quite as simple as that.<br clear="none">

Content is always a work in progress. Neither are complete.<br clear="none">

And ease of maintenance. And that's usually more about having someone<br clear="none">

</div>3 and 4 are often mutually exclusive.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Another factor may be, what additional features/functions do we want<br clear="none">
the web site to have. Can both platforms (Weebly? and Joomla) provide<br clear="none">
what we want? Can they both easily support multiple people adding content?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Then the question no one has asked so far.<br clear="none">
Is it necessary that there only be one site?<br clear="none">
They could easily both have links to each other.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
If it has to be one, which ever one is fine by me.<br clear="none">
