One suggestion would be to make them a bit smaller so that column would be narrower and the forum post column wider. What is the purpose of the Calendar? When I click on it I get a calendar, but no events listed. I'm glad to see the SEARCH function is ready! Thanks for making all the changes to the website!

We don't promote the possibility because we don't want a bunch of stuff on here that is irrelevant, or clinical pictures that people routinely send us to comment on ( we are not doctors), or things that it turn into another Facebook with people shooting pictures of the meal that they are having, the love of their life the gondola they are in while in Europe, their new _______ (insert here; car, mustache, tattoo, favorite quote in old English font etc.) and heaven forbid, cat videos�

Chester looks like that in those images (vs. a nerdy guy sitting in front of a computer coding all night) because for years he has toured with Tommy Lee doing after hour parties after Motley Crew concerts and at many other venues that Tommy and Chester play by themselves. He's the real deal when it comes to club music. That he is also a code warrior is another part of his life altogether.
If you click on any of those main links in the horizontal black bar you get a landing page about it with new links and do not have to choose from the drop down small links that are there as you roll over the main categories. The site is now dynamic and recognizes what kind of platform you are coming in on and serves up an appropriate layout for pads, mini pads, phones, desktops etc. Being mobil friendly in todays world is what it is all about.

What a Cool Code Warrior! I'm still exploring all the links in this impressive new look and realizing what an amazing and thoughtful undertaking it has been for all those involved in bringing it to what is is today!

This is far from done. When April screening month work is behind us, we will be working on those pages in ernest. If anyone believes that they have good grammar and writing skills and can do good basic research we are always looking for help in producing content for he web site. Not only does it have to read well and be written in an informative but approachable tone, it has to get by the science advisory board, which means that the content has to be scientifically right on the money. But anyone that feels like this is a contribution that they would like to make, please contact me and you can try your hand at a page.
