[Fwd: Re: refreshed website soft launched]

[Jess Mitchell]

Michelle,

Great to have you here -- and thanks a bunch for your feedback!  We  
are indeed still working out the details (under the hood and up top  
too) on the website and the items you bring up are certainly on the  
list -- thanks!

We'll get the Matterhorn partners page link in place.  Should we use a  
different logo too?
And wrt populating the page -- bring it -- we'd love to have an RSS  
feed to pop in there!

Best,
Jess
