[Seattle-editorial] FP: Get Ready. The Seattle IMC Website is going to be changing.

[Sheri Herndon]

excellent.
glad to see it up thanks!
i'd like to suggest one additional link:

We'd like to hear your thoughts.  Comment or Discuss this Feature (or some variation)

and then link to the story on the newswire so that people can chime in with thoughts and anything else that otherwise might not make it to the seattle editorial list.  basically it demonstrates that we'd like to hear from our readers/audience/participants....remember they are participants more than consumers.  we want to hear from them, especially now.
