Minutes noted below are from the 22nd to today - they've been impacted a bit by a week and a half's worth of a really nasty flu that's not quite done with me...

Since I last posted, I have continued working in the microfilms at UVic and have sent out permissions documents to all of the archives and museums I've worked with so far. Only one has responded - the 5th Regiment Museum - and Jim was able to convince him to accept our preferred license. I'll try to get ahold of the rest of my contacts before the end of this week, but all have granted verbal permission on previous occasions. As for the website, I've used feedback from team members to change things up a bit. We currently have a khaki color theme, a header featuring a photograph of marching soldiers, and a background of the mud at Passchendaele. I've found out how to remove the sidebar from the home page slideshow, but have left off further tinkering with the slides until we decide what images we would like to have there. There are several ways we can do that, and I thought it would be something we could discuss at the meeting on Monday. Three of my write-ups are uploaded, footnoted, and set up with images, there are submenus on my navy pages, and I've started work on some extra navy history articles. I'm really hoping to have kicked my flu by Monday, but at least I now have full-time internet access again!

Just in case anybody needs them, here are the hex codes for the website's color scheme: Dropdown Menu Background, Ubermenu Hover Background, and Content Links: 778260 Container, Ubermenu Background, and Submenu Hover Links: f5f2e4 Ubermenu Titles, Content Text, and Submenu Static Links: 222409
