I'd like to design my club's bivio site this year. I'd like
to use one of the free open source website designs, but have
never done this before. Have any of you? and would you care
to share any comments?

I like something like this:
http://stockherd.com/blog/
http://stockherd.com/mic/

How easy is it to change the template, if I create something
and don't like it, if I want to keep the same files and
file/directory structure

thanks, Etana

Happy New Year, Etana. I have some comments.

1) Don't let the tail wag the dog. Your investment club should be top
priority. Don't spend 80% of your time maintaining a website. If you are
not proficient at it, make and keep it simple.

2) The stockherd people are either professionals or hobbyists. "Free open
source" doesn't mean it's for amateurs. You have all you need at your
disposal here on bivio. Just search for free graphics, find something
SIMPLE, and get back to me or tech support for some help.

3) I recommend that all clubs put their time and effort into making their
Files Page as efficient as possible. This is the page that all members can
add to.

Etana, there are cheap programs available at www.download.com or at
Officemax and Office Depot (and Best Buy) for $49-$69 that you can use to
create webpages. Why maintain a website here at bivio and another one
elsewhere?

Let me know if you need help.

My son really likes Taco (tacosw.com) which (only) runs on the Mac.

Cheers,

Lynn and Rob,
I'm actually a graphic artist and own Dreamweaver, but I
always struggle with it.
I'll talk more about this project later.
thanks, Etana
