Tinkering with the Website

As you may have noticed by now, we’ve made a few changes to www.lowelldeeds.com. It’s not exactly a redesign, just a new look with a different font and location for some links. We hope this doesn’t cause you any problems, but if it does, let us know right away (mailto:lowelldeeds@comcast.net) and we’ll roll it back to yesterday’s version. Make sure you check out the “registry-related documents” link. Through the years, we’ve accumulated many articles, memos and other documents that might be helpful to you. Rather than allow them to gather (electronic) dust on our hard drive, we’ve loaded them on the website in the Adobe PDF format. We’ll add more as time permits. In preparing for this update, I read some articles on the web about recent trends in web design. It seems everyone agrees that the hot new color for the Internet is brown. I didn’t put much credence in these opinions until I remembered that the Super Bowl XXXIX commemorative hats are brown and tan. If anyone is on top of the latest trends in marketing and making money, it’s the NFL, so I guess brown really is in. Several people have explained that it’s meant to create a link with the members of our military who have almost universally swapped their predominantly green woodland camouflage patterns for the tan and brown desert hues.
