Updates 3/11/07
I have spent the last week as promised, updating the site. We have a new look and a ton of new items added. As the amount of new items would be much too cumbersome to list in this format - here is a link to the plain-text list. Also I have added a Featured Resources Page as I was finding that having them on the home page was confusing to new visitors who would need to read the welcome message without having to scroll down a page to see it.
