I also think that we need to ensure that we have continuity, but we don't want something where all the users have a old lycos 'branding' experience were every site looks / feels different with different toolbars, etc. I remember reading a article on http://www.adaptivepath.com/ which explains about about the lycos redesign and there are other useful articles on the site and case studies which provide some interesting reading for various projects I'm involved in and we are using numerous suggestions from their case studies and essays, etc. Regards --jm > > > >Goba > > - Davey
