New web site undergoing beta testing

Selected members of the cub were seeded with beta copies of the new HPRR web site. The revised web is based on more "modern" Web 2.0 features. Preliminary results indicate all sections are working as expected. No broken links have been found, internal page links are working, and the carousel-style members page is working as well.

Additional testing will continue to surface any bugs, omissions, or errors. At the same time the picture gallery will be expanded as will the digital video section.

Stay tuned.
