I might suggest combining sb_m, sb_m_loc, and sb_m_profile into sb_m, and just
not fill in the _loc and _profile bits unless either supplied or member is a
"full" member. Unless people can have multiple locations and profiles...

Also, you might be able to combine worldcity and zipcodes, and "if country !=
'USA', go by country/city, else go by (state/city) or (zipcode)". I suppose
technically that might take up more space for the table if you set up an extra
key for country/city... Eh, either way I suppose. Although admittedly, that'd
give you only one place to look if you were trying to reference by long/lat.
Hmm.

Oh yeah, sb_m_site maybe also should get that "brickshelf?" flag. And sb_l you
might want to have a logo url/icon location.

Dang, I'm picky, huh?

As you can see, there is quite a bit of information that needs to be entered
and displayed.  Error checking is the worst part of it,

Is this error checking insofar as existing members/officers OK'ing people's
information?

then there's also
making sure the members are logged in (I'm using PHP sessions for that right
now) and that only members at the proper level can add bios or events, etc.
I also want to make sure members get signed up for appropriate mailing lists.

Ooo, there's another two tables for you :) Mailing list info & members/list
