Additionally, the judges offered the following comments:
- The calendar needs to be updated
- Excellent use of thumbnails and alt tags on the images.
- Provide a date of last revision
- Good Page
- Hard to Navigate
- Webmaster links are generally located in the bottom of the page; that's where people look for them.
- Add captions to pictures in the yearbook.
- Basic lodge site could use more but provides good stuff.
