I'm going to have to learn some CSS to adjust the header enough to accept our logo instead of what's there. I think. I can change the colour of the header words to match the logo.<BR/><BR/>The comment setting right now requires each commenter to be approved the FIRST time they comment (meaning you will go to moderation hell, but I will save you). But every time after that you'll go right through. I also set comments to go to moderation if you use MORE THAN 3 links in a comment, so don't do that.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Go over there and check it out and make a few comments and see if you like the format. It just has a "get started" post up right now -- I didn't write one.<BR/><BR/>We can add pages and they can be public, private or password protected (meaning people can see there's a page there, but need pw to get in). I haven't added any other authors yet, but can do that easily (just time consuming). We can re-name stuff. Tell me what you like/don't like. We'll go from there. It absolutely WILL NOT hurt my feelings if you don't like it or want to do something entirely different.<BR/><BR/>Right now it's here:<BR/><BR/>http://cbbandg.wordpress.com/<BR/><BR/>[Later, if we decide we like this format, it will not have the wordpress part in there, but that costs money.]BCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073904727232797021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34531845.post-36022350340279229862009-04-10T16:14:00.000-04:002009-04-10T16:14:00.000-04:00No one is stepping on my toes.
