Wow, long time no update! Well, a lot has happened in the last two years, but the main thing is the site received a complete overhaul last fall. We used a combination of commercially-purchased templates (since yours truly is a web programmer, not so much a designer), and have a couple more in the bag that we might pull out in the future. Speaking of programming, the site also is now more multi-site friendly. The site-selection popup you receive on first visit, as well as the buttons at the top right (well, today they're buttons and on the top-right) is all driven off a database, so new sites can be added easily. Your current site determines what dates appear by message titles, which announcements you see, and which tabs on multi-tab pages appear. We're looking into other ways to take advantage of this, as well.
We've also launched a podcast, which drives off our message library database (in other words, it's updated as soon as the message is uploaded). We're planning video podcasts, too; we're just working on getting mp4 files to render properly and not look horrible.
Our Facebook pages are starting to take off. Today, they're just links in the footer, but we're hoping to add them soon to a more prominent location.
In other techy-type news, we also have a 'Bug tracker' system to keep track of tasks still needed on the site. If you feel so inclined, hop over to http://hiddenv.com/todo if you see anything amiss in the site configuration, or just have a good idea for an enhancement. Of course, you can always contact the webmaster, too!
