Thanks Dee for getting us started on the list. I don't see our site
on the home page yet. I am about to join for WSI and I also sent
your notice to the TC list.
Could you set up a webinar for us for Monday at 4pm EDT? I would
like to go through a little Kavi and other navigation helps on the site.
I have copied David on this with a CC since I'm not sure who is
getting the list posts yet.
Cheers,
Elysa
