<DIV>Glen, just one point. Not sure where it was stated that the new tag
line had to be in the header. Just the requirement that when you home page
was open it was visible without having to scroll down to find it. Doesn't
look like a major redesign requirement. Where is it stated that it has to
be on all the 70 pages of your website?</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I don’t have
any problem with “Boating is fun . . We’ll show you how”. It’s a nice
catchy phrase and SUGGESTING we include it makes perfect sense.
Requiring us to include it might even be a good idea BUT, telling us
exactly where to place it has now gone way over the line. Lets recap, we
have the required “A unit of United States Power Squadrons”, then we add
the required “Sail and Power Boating”, let’s toss in
“</SPAN><st1:country-region><st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">America</SPAN></st1:place></st1:country-region><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">’s Boating
Club” so we don’t lose any points, and now we want to add “Boating is
fun . . We’ll show you how” so we don’t lose 2 more points. Oh, and it
must be in the header. Why don’t we just add a new catch phrase each
year or two and require them all to be in the header so that in 20 years
we all have web sites that are just a long list of catchy phrases with
no room for anything else. Not only does this become a page layout issue
where I would have to redesign our header to make this fit and adjust
the space available for the header on over 70 pages, but we are
developing a serious “branding” problem. What is the consistent
recognizable identity that we want to project to the public so that they
will remember us? We can’t seem to find one! If you want to ask or even
require webmasters to use the new slogan, allow them some creative space
to place it where they feel it is most appropriate and makes sense with
the other material on the page.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
