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.
