This is a great service, but I keep forgetting it is there	The default for all new users will be to receive automatic email notification of any new messages posted in ANY area to which they have access. This will help to remind subscribers of the resource.	02/18/2002
We would like to list links to local businesses on our site	Each property can now add addresses, links to email and web pages, and can even add banners to their web pages if desired. If you care to sell ad placement, just a couple of listings can more than pay for the full year's fees.	02/15/2002
