I am checking with Brian to see if he can host the development site. As I
told him, one of the original founders is providing the space for the
production site right now. Its his way of staying involved with PLUG. I
dont think he is running PhP so if we use it, we might be forced to move.
As far as some sort of navigation, I would really like to keep the index page
as clean as it is now (I will upload a new version with some included files
copied in for now) but ya need to tell the visitors what else they can find
on the site. I wouldnt be adverse, in fact i might really like, a
PhP-generated image with variable text that we can just pile left to right at
the top of the page. Makes adding new sections a snap.
