<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">=========================================================================</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>></span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Subject: Travels</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Dear Lowlanders,</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Thanks again to those of you that voted for name choices of our new website.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
The site is up now: </span><a style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/">lowlands-l.net/travels/</a><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Thanks to the Advisory Team members. You will find their names under "Participants".</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
At the moment, we have very little more than the introductions ("front matter") and the basic "skeleton" of the site. Nevertheless, please browse around to familiarize yourselves with it. We can always add, remove and restructure things as we go. We're open to suggestions.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Now it's a matter of a concerted effort to put the goodies there. Please read about the specifics and some suggestions under "Works Wanted".
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Please also bear in mind that we expect neither literary masterworks nor long epistles (though they are definitely welcome also, and there is one now under "Germany," "Things to Do" and "Things to Taste," and that's because I had written it earlier). A single to-the-point paragraph per item is just fine, and it suits the attention span of most visitors. If you can add graphics, audio or video files, that's cherries on top.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We can discuss details later.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Just remember that this is an opportunity for you and people you know (who don't have to be subscribers) to provide tips and ideas and also showcase places and things that are relatively little known, at least internationally. Of course, this doesn't mean that you can't contribute blurbs about better-know places and things. The bottom line is that potentially this is a powerful promotion tool that can benefit travelers and the communities of their destinations alike, aside from the benefit of promoting the focus of our interest and our LL-L community.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">People have taken notice of us. So we an an opportunity to promote and educate. Let's make use of it and do so for the best!
<br><br>So please get cracking on this!</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Thanks and regards,</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Reinhard/Ron</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
