Website – Technical
If you have experience with WordPress, CSS, web design, page layout, templates, etc, then you probably know more than me. If you want to learn, I can help you and you can certainly help me. There is LOTS to do to improve this site.

how to combine pages and posts (categories) on a single menu tab
Find a way to publish news from the Maple Ridge Muni site on Municipal News page
link sidebar slideshow images to bigger images or album
galleries not displaying properly on pages (http://www.hammondneighbours.ca/category/kids-and-families/); review colouring contest gallery (from front page and from Image Galleries page)
integrate google groups feed into site (currently not obvious how to do that)
post times are incorrect? pages do not show the date - only the time - that it was posted. Maybe the time and author should be removed?
push posts out to jenzed.com and GETI
link header img to front page ("Home") (The issue is that only the foreground image auto-links in the Suffusion theme, but placing the image in the foreground messes up the rest of the header formatting.
set up a Google Alert for newspaper articles (can't get Google search "site:" operator to work; may need to use Yahoo Pipes)
nicer layout for thumbnails on pages (such as Hammond School page)
when using shortcodes to display ToDo list in page, the title of the category is shown by default. It is identical to the page title so this looks stupid.
Need to standardize the way photos are displayed on the History pages (like Hammond School, Miscellaneous, etc) Maybe implement galleries? (But have to fix galleries first.)
How can you change the order of ToDo items in a numbered list?
Is the ToDo plugin really helping? Given that I've backed out the user management aspect, and the item assignment / status aspect, couldn't this just be done with a regular page? (or do I have to learn templating to make this work the way I want?)
it would be nice to have a filtered RSS feed from the MR News (Times does not have RSS). I tried using Feed Rinse, but the service didn't seem to work. May need to use Yahoo Pipes.
Google webmaster tools indicate a few 404s that need to be fixed
check for unlinked pages
Google webmaster identifies many pages with duplicate title tags (under Optimization)

If page and post have same title, you cannot make page- or post-specific urls (ie, http://site/title = both page and post)
