Calling all - website upgrade coming, need your help

This website is our primary tool for interaction, coordination, and attracting new members. We have been lucky enough to get attention and grow, however the site may not have kept pace. Based on your feedback, we are on to a revamp. The things we have heard fall in these main categories

  1. Lots of content, hard to find and track them
  2. Site is getting slower
  3. Unfriendly for new visitors - they don't know how to signup,  find posts, problems logging in etc

Belgaum Ganesh decoration using FLEX in demand

7 September 2008 - 1:19pm — belgaumblog

The Ganesh Festival has begun since yesterday and all air filled with joy and vigor. The decoration for the Sarvajanik Mandals this time (347) has one noticeable factor of the use of FLEX (plastic same as those big hoardings) material for all decoration as background, pillars etc. Until last year FLEX was used to make only the mandals sign board. but this time a vast use of this has been seen all over by the mandals. Still as this is just the first day after the installation of the idols in the pandals, still the decoration is going on.
