Yeah it is, and the sandbox feature makes it a lot less intimidating.

I've proposed an alternative structure to the project on the front page. This is primarily motivated by my belief that the Arguments sub-project does not belong under the Media heading. Please offer comments and alternatives and criticize as necessary.

I like the divisions and bold headings of the current structure so as long as we keep that, I think you can move topics to which ever heading they best fit under.

I've changed the sidebar quite a bit. I've also set it up so that the "SideBar" tab comes up automatically, rather than the "QuickStar" tab. If people hate this, let me know. I think this might be helpful for when the page goes public if we have a good outline of main pages on the "SideBar" to help people navigate the site.

Did someone change the size of the side bar? somehow between last night and today, the photos that lined the top off all the pages have been moved into two lines instead and I can't tell what changed to make that happen...???

What would people think of adding an "activism quote page" where we could pool our favorite quotes about activism from the most influential activists throughout history.

I love the pic of the quote Adam, but I think it's too overbearing at the moment. could we tweak it, or place it on the newly mentioned quote page?

Could we just take the text of the quote and place it below the images?

Thomas, thats what i was thinkin, i knew it was too big, i just figured id throw it up there and see what you all had to say, i think using the quote itself under the images would be a better idea, i might add it to my story too.

is there a way we can put a table of contents on the sidebar or something so that you can navigate back to a subject page from one of the smaller pages instead of always having to hit 'home' and re-start from there?

Yes, but we have to do it manually...making links for each page. I'll put something basic together, you can add to it.

Does the sidebar have to be SO BIG?!! It takes up a good third of each page...can we shrink it a lil?

Okay, dumb comment, but I would personally vote for a color in the heading that was in the cool tones versus the red, but it doesn't really matter either way, just a thought I had. Red is a lovely color too.

Hey, I still can't get my table of contents on my page quite right, not sure how to do that. If anyone knows how the titles could appear correctly let me know, or go ahead and try to fix that, it would be swell.
