[Aquanet] New Books and workshops pages

[Louise & Rich]

Raymond,
Again, thanks for all the work you're doing for this wonderful group.  The 
list looks great and especially like the idea of having a place to announce 
workshops and new books, aside from the email announcements (which I hope 
will still continue).  Although the home page does indicate how to join our 
group, it is not that readily visible to someone who has never been to our 
site before.  If I might suggest, perhaps under the "About Us" tab, a 
sub-tab could be "Join Us" or "Free Membership".  I only mention this 
because I've told many watercolorists about this site, but they never seem 
to say they've joined or knew there was something to join.  You know how 
some people only read the titles of articles and don't read the article!!!
Thanks for everything -- you're terrific.
Louise

> 5) Individual Sponsors' pages, linked to from 4) above, much as it is now
> 6) A new Members' books page
> 7) A new Members' workshops page where members can post notices of classes 
> or workshops  of interest
> 8) A new "About Aquanet" page with our history, mission statement and 
> tributes (to Cia, for example)
