All right..

That's fine by me. Did you see the North Georgia Train Club
layout? That's a nice one. http://www.ngltc.org

See above for my suggestions, I think that came out nicely.
Clean. I have to find that logo, I have it here somewhere!

Agreed.

Yes, especially on the front page. I would think that you
can have links on your personal sales site, Brickbay, etc.
Like Larry P. Milton Trainworks, for example. I won't need
to worry about that anymore. : ) If someone has a special
discount for club members or something, we might want to
handle that differently.

That's cool. I just need a link, you don't want to see my
code for the pages! : )

Heh, well, it's no big deal if we do or don't.

Yes, only event photos should do fine. links can handle
other peoples creations.

I don't think I have any objections, thank you for the
effort Amy. It all sounds just fine. : )
