adding to Facebook twice a week (Georgette) and Tweets daily to Twitter (Doug)

1. Placement of sponsor ads on the various pages.
D6 has right column placement. For D5, consider making sponsor tab first tab if it exists ... even if Daniel complains in the interim. Need to blast generic ad to all hikes. Walt to do.

Ed asks if we can do som rethemeing of hikes page to improve look ... consider after we go to D6.

Anonymous checkout mechanism for D6. Analysis indicates we know how to do via "registering state". If never process email we send re completing registration, will be able to come back in just by adding email address. Need careful explanation of when to enter pw or not on that screen.
