Dan has been looking into an interesting meta-template scheme, but just to get started let's go with something very simple that off-the-shelf would not look half bad.

The current site, by the way, isn't happy on my iPhone. I think as a travel-related operation, we should be mobile-ready. This theme makes that a priority.

We can work on something fancier in parallel, but I think we had best start brainstorming on what we want and how to organize it in terms of sections and pages.

Looks like you have your bases covered for the future website.  I am going to go ahead and drop off the google group since it hurts my feelings that every time I read it my 5 years of volunteer service to UBarU is being critiqued as obsolete and out-of-date.  I’m glad I was of use to UBarU for a while.  Best of luck to you all.

Karin, I am very sorry you took this point as criticism. It wasn't intended as such by any means. If the current design is five years old, it would be incredible if it worked perfectly on a mobile device! Out of date on the internet is normal, after all.

I was just pointing this out as a design constraint, and I'm very sorry if the way I said it felt like criticism to you. I am juggling a lot of things right now and if I was insensitive it was out of haste. I am very sorry for this.

Please feel free to reconsider your further involvement in the communication team. I know that Jon in particular wants very much for you to stay involved. I'm sorry this has been difficult so far.

I hope you know that your past efforts have been very much appreciated, and that your ongoing involvement would help us smooth the transition. Again, I am very sorry for the way I made this point about mobile devices. Please accept my apology.

sincerely
Michael
