COA News on FreeSpeechTV
Serving up a different page.tpl.php for different browser types (i.e., IE6) with your Drupal theme
if you figure out just the most major IE issues
that would be good enough
Background graphics not displaying in IE6 due to use of padding instead of width and height values
Some IE6 fixes did not require browser detection

a#emailalerts_button {
display: block;
background: url('images/alerts.gif') 0% 0px;

Making COAnews.org more participatory
Ben, you mentioned at the meeting that making the site more participatory might be a good idea.

* Between Friends: The Perils of Centralized Blogging
One of the paradoxes of current social software is how many
of your closely-guarded secrets you are obliged to entrust
to a third party. The news that LiveJournal has been sold
to SUP, a Moscow-based company, is the latest vivid
indication of this danger. Now, LiveJournal journal entries
are under the control of not only a young new company, but
a new jurisdiction: Russia. What does that mean for the

More on the COA redirect issues: Yahoo weighs in with strange error
I tired to follow back to your web page and could not get through. A
