[CIMC-work] Format Question from Techie--Chicago Bike Summer feature info here, complete with all links

[Elizabeth Fraser]

Hi, this is not just for Garth.  I want to set this in HTML for him and
have a few questions--about what kind of header to choose for this
(LOCAL, CHICAGO -- is there a standard).  Also, the bike photos are
wider than tall -- have we settled on a standard -- these would look
better a little wider if that's cool.

& Garth, this is a bit long--maybe slimming down the link texts? Maybe
tighten the Chicago Messenger one just a bit?  I think that the first
graphic would be good it we didn't have to shrink it too much--it's
457x125--or if someone's working on this already.  Let me know, eliz

Okay gang.  Here is the Chicago Bike Summer  feature.

Thumbnail is here:
http://chicago.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=29056&group=webcast
I like the one on top the best, but put the others in because i don't
know 
why.

Okay, here's my intro, feel free to edit or round out. or even rewrite 
completely!  I put words that should be linked between these symbols<>
and 
wrote the complete link after it.

It's a Bike Summer in Chicago and there's plenty of fun things to do.
>From 
joining one of the monthly <Critical Mass Rides > 
www.chicagocriticalmass.org  to checking out this week's events at
<Buddy> 
http://www.chicagomessengers.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=a

which include Workshops, Neighborhood Rides, Movies, Music, Politics,
Yoga, 
BBQ and More!

Do you need a bike but dread spending too much money on yet another new 
product?  Consider supporting the <Working Bikes Cooperative> 
www.workingbikes.org by purchasing one of their recycled bikes.  Moneys 
raised are used to ship other reclaimed bicycles to communities in 
economically oppressed Latin America.

Also learn about the recently formed <Windy City Bike Messenger
Association> 
www.chicagomessengers.org and be sure to write August 10th in your
calendar 
for Chicago Action Medical's <Rolling Resistance> benefit ride on the
North 
Branch Trail.
If you did miss out on the recent Grand Critical Mass which had a
turnout of 
over one thousand be sure to check out the

The hour long ride was a fun parade that wound it's way through some of 
Chicago's south side neighborhoods and ended up for a swim at the 33rd 
Street Beach.



This is just a list of all the links.

Thomas Yun's awesome video piece on Friday's Critical Mass
http://chicago.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=29027&group=webcast
Calls it Street Performers because he intersperses some bucket drummer
kids 
with the riders and has the audio of the kids playing over the entire
piece. 
  very neat.

Here's my pics:
