[GRLUG] linux meetup

Tue Jul 4 09:19:28 EDT 2006

If someone has some ideas what they want it to look like, I can code
php/html/css alright. It's coming up with ideas that I like that is my
problem. I have started three or four design ideas for the site that I
didn't like, including one that looked like an OS and had style sheets for
KDE/Gnome or Terminal.

So if you have some "style samples" of sites that are good for this
application, I am sure I can do a site "parody".
