I do agree and thank them very much for their efforts. It is very true <br />that it is not their fault that they had so little time. Nor is it their fault that they were not experienced park <br />personnel with in -depth understanding of our issues. <br />However in hind - sight, I'm not sure that I didn't make a mistake in agreeing to go in that direction. It may <br />well of been easier to explain to my staff and patrons that our site was unavailable and under construction <br />than finding myself now in a situation where I'm receiving so much internal and external complaint. <br />However, that is water under the bridge and now I need to move this forward. After talking to Fred this <br />morning about possibilities, I think it would be good if we could come up with an agreed on plan of <br />approach to look at improvements to our web site. <br />Fred Suggested to me a 2 -prong approach. First a short term and then a longer term approach. <br />First for the short term, we work with the site as is to try to get it working and more aesthetic / graphic <br />elements on it. While this is difficult with the three column format I do believe improvements could be <br />made within the existing format and with Bob Blanchard given the authorization to do so then we could <br />start working on that. <br />My ideas for the longer term would be we could contract with a web consultant familiar with this product <br />and see what we could do to get a product POS would be more comfortable with. <br />I heard some good things about the consultant listed below, perhaps he would be a possibility. <br />Your thoughts? <br />Thanks <br />Johnny <br />From: BLANCHARD Bob C <br />Sent: Mon 7/18/2005 11:25 AM <br />To: MEDLIN Johnny R <br />7/20/2005 <br />
