New web site features & quick poll

This is Jennifer Snoek-Brown, your friendly web manager, and I'm excited to share with you some updates and new features for our regional web site!

First of all, these updates are possible due to a recent site upgrade to the Pro level, and many thanks go to our Board of Officers for approving that site upgrade!

Image updates:

• We have a new header slideshow (scroll up to the top of this page to view), featuring some of the different headers on different pages of the site. This slideshow is only on the home page of the site, and you can scroll through the images using the dots in the righthand corner.
  
• There's a new "favicon" feature. A "favicon" is a small icon that appears next to the site's URL in the browser's address bar. I used a Jane Austen portrait for our site's favicon.

Navigation updates:

• To make it easier to find one's way around the site, there's a new and improved search box on the home page. 
• This search box is also included in the new footer on the bottom of each page. Now you can search on our site from any page!

Page updates:

• We have a new Lending Library page, thanks to Kathleen McCann's hard work. Please check it out!
• And last, but not least, we now have the ability to have members-only pages of the site that are password-protected. This has enabled us to have a password-protected version of the Lending Library page that includes full contact details.
• Note:  I have also added a Members Only page on the main navigation bar, which will include links to all the password-protected pages, as we continue to explore this option for our group's activities. If you are a current regional member and would like to request the password, please contact our Regional Coordinator. 

Which update or new feature is your favorite? Please take a minute and take our quick poll, at right, and let us know!

Celebrate site updates!
