Thanks for gathering up these resources.  I enjoyed looking them over.  I feel a little daunted by the potential "learning curve" of figuring this out, but I want to! 

I think we are talking about a great front page for the strawbalestudio.org website, and then it will possibly link to the wiki pages which are so easy for me to update. 

I like music.

You could cruise through these to see some websites I have liked.

www.foxnaturalbuilding.com   front page: pictures change, colors, style quality of content.  backup pages are a little dry, but I like the photos and descriptions.

http://www.simondale.net/house/index.htm    one of my favorites.

http://www.kleiwerks.com/  

http://www.kleiwerks.org/index.php   VERY SIMPLE CLEAR AND AESTHETIC.

Happy New Year Deanne,

I hope your holidays have been shared with friends and loved ones!

I've had a some time to compile a few examples of flash websites or menus for you to look at.

1. http://flashmenulabs.com/examples_hhhv.htm

   - this website has a few different menu options ranging from simple to more complex

2. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/02/26/navigation-menus-trends-and-examples/

3. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/03/14/css-based-navigation-menus-modern-solutions/

   - these two are articles about Navigation Menus but it covers a LOT of various styles

4.http://www.bennington.edu/

5. http://www.tofteproject.org/flash.html

     - this is an amazing site, but its a lot more than we were thinking. Still we might want to incorporate elements of it.

6. http://www.modulardwellings.com/flash_content.html

     - again, a little more than we envisioned (since I'll just be doing the menu navigation), but nice

That's all for now. If I find any other good examples, I'll send them your way. Feel free to email me anything you've found online that you like.

Also, what was the name of that architect you know in Ann Arbor? As of the 15th of January I'll be unemployed. I'd really like to see if he has any work for me (even if its just a little freelance AutoCAD work). If you could put a word in for me that would be great.

Thanks,

Kris
