Re: Opinions on Zarban's town history website

That's a nice looking site you've got there, As someone who has spent more time then I care to admit trying out different wordpress templates I know that is no easy feat.

Very slick. The gray text in the banner seems a bit difficult to read with a few of the bg image options, but aside from that, total thumbs up.

Thanks! Yeah, I can't change the font or the color of the banner text until I upgrade.

Wordpress is amazing tho. Since I had all those photos, more or less, it only took about 6 hours to mock that up. I've taken longer dumps.

Honestly, it looks good. It reads like a news paper (in a positive way) and is very simple to navigate.

I do agree with Teague on the gray on gray coloring, just for reading ease. Navigation, though (which is something I think is very important) is quite easy.

God loves you!

Just got back from a meeting discussing this proposal with the museum's staff (three people). It's sort of comical to try to explain WordPress and Flickr and the concept of blogging and a pipeline and everything else to people who just know Facebook. I basically ended up going "It can kind of do anything you want, really."

If anyone here has any archival experience, especially with collections management software called Past Perfect, I'd love to chat.
