[Website_improve] Move squadrons up to the top level?

[Phil Arcuni]

Hello again Markus,

The simplest way to log on to a squadron web page is to look on the alphabetical list of squadrons, accessible from the bottom-most link (Squadrons) on the left column of the USPS "Site Index" page ( http://www.usps.org/newpublic2/sitex.html ). A link to the Site Index page can be found on the top row of many pages of the main USPS web site. That's about as close to "top level" as we can get. The Squadrons page is also linked directly from most pages of the ITCom page

If you, or anyone else, would like to help us make the USPS site pages more complete and easier to use, please apply to me for a position on ITCom. I am talking "hands-on design, layout, and maintenance", not just advice or comment.

Regards, Phil

R/C Philip Arcuni, SN
Chairman, Information Technology Committee
