Dear Christina: You needn't be apologetic about your Website. It is crisp  
and well done with a good color set and a goodly amount of white space -- all  
pluses. Of course you can always improve any Website. In your case, partly  it 
is a matter of getting your presence onto the home page or at most by link  
from the "About the Club: History & Ethics"  page. It might also help to have a 
link on the picture at the top of  the page that tells who the gentleman is 
and something about him -- I appreciate  not an Archives page issue, but it 
shows up on your page as on all others, so  you have a case for suggesting 
(perhaps writing) something on that. But,  definitely you should try to get the NPC 
Archives on the home page index list,  as no doubt you are trying to do. 
 
Mainly, however, putting aside tweaks like that, the big thing is to get  
some electronic content up on your page. Not sure how restricted you will be in  
doing that since it appears that NPC sells its content, but unless there is 
some  changing content, your page will resemble an ad in the Yellow Pages and 
not be  revisited by the same people more than the phone book. Perhaps once you  
have a couple such things to offer, it will help to get them promoted  on the 
NPC home page.  And absolutely, you (NPC) should do something about  the 
misleading directions. It takes only a parenthetical statement to note "(NPC  
Archives on the 4th floor). Good luck.
 
 
Regards,

Rick

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I am trying to  get our web person to make my web pages more interesting 
since they were  recently redesigned.  Some of the information I had up
is now gone and  I have no access to the pages so I can't update or change 
them myself.   Right now my home page is just a list of bullet points with a 
picture and the  way the links are laid out is confusing to
anyone particularly the  directions which lead you to the club on the 13th 
floor when I am located on  the 4th floor (which is part of the club).  =20
