 * Trick of the trade (an alternative when creating image maps) posted by Jim Landucci
 * Are you tired of going back and forth between the page you are editing and the image map template just to adjust the image size?
 * Do you want to avoid making multiple copies of the same template in order to use the same image map on different pages with different image sizes?

Prep for updating counties in a state:
 * Create county pattern - mostly completed
 * Create Excel program to keep manual efforts to a bare minimum (Wilma)
 * FYI: it will also create a stats page for the state to see which topics and counties are strong/weak
 * Create Intro templates that will be posted (automatically) on county pages. Wilma is creating a project page for this, so:
 * Naming pattern is consistent
 * Format of blank ones is consistent
