A simple way to give a website more 'beauty' is a few well placed  
graphics. I will when I get the time spend a little energy having a  
look to see what I can do to help. I wonder though whether we want two  
websites! I am happy to host an address such as linuxindandc.co.uk  
that would be an introduction to the LUG and also contain newbie  
articles etc and maybe content of a more 'friendly' nature. The site  
would link back to the current lug site and would be a cross working  
of the two sites.

What do you think?
