I just have some suggestions :)

I was browsing the photo gallery and IMHO it seems like it could use some polishing. I dont know what software you use to manage the photo's but with past websites I have built I have always liked Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/). It's a free open source photo management software. Dont know if it's compatable with your web host provider but something worth checking out. I think we should have our best club pictures on the photo gallery main page as a showcase to help sell the club and then have link with an related thumbnail to club events, member rides, pics taken by members, and then misc rover related pics with maybe each on their own sep page. Also it wouldn't hurt to have some videos as well. Dont know how much storage space and bandwith you have available, but if it's limited then we can always post the movies on youtube and embed the movies into a page. Probably more work then what it may be worth, but just throwing some suggestions out there :)

We are trying to keep things simple for everyone. We use Joomla for the site build and would prefer to have a Gallery that can be integrated with the software. We don't want a separate Photo Gallery site. If Gallery can be integrated with Joomla then I am all for an upgrade. I will check when I have some time.

Thanks for the input, it will keep us fresh with ideas and current with technology if members speak up and share there ideas.

UPDATE: There is a bridge for Joomla and Gallery so I will take a look at it and see if we can integrate it.
