I've just completed an update of the MWNP Members page. Hopefully, I've correctly included all of the information you provided. Please check to be sure your listing is correct.
There were a few of you for whom I was unable to confirm NPN membership. If your listing doesn't have an NPN symbol--but should--please let me know.
If you would like to be included on the list, please send me an email with your contact information (name, city/state, email, website, NPN member?). You must be a registered forum participant to be on the list.
Please help me keep this page updated by informing me of changes in email, etc. Thanks for all of your help.

The map showing the distribution of members is an excellent touch. Hope to see more dots covering all the states at some point! The expatriate comment on JG is hilarious!

This MWNP home page is awsome, Chuck!! The Banner is very representative of the midwest, and very effective. Kudos, to the people who worked on this...
The map is really a great idea too!! It puts us on one...
I have a couple questions...
1. How can I link this MWNP page to my website? (in my recommended sites area)
2. Not to make more work for you, but is there any chance of adding a link to our personal webpage? I'm not a webmaster, so I don't know what's involved in that.. It's only a thought...
3. I would like to print up a small flyer for my exhibits, showing the organizations I belong to and write a few lines about each.
NPN and MWNP are at the top of the list. Is this something that's possible to do? Maybe this should be addressed in the General discussion forum at NPN, or discused with Jim Erhardt.. At any rate, I think it would possibly generate more hits for everyone if something like this was feasable. (and ethecal, and 'legal' to do... ie: permissions or what?)
Just a few things that ran through my head when I saw the page for the first time today....
Keep up the great work, Chuck!
I hope to run into you somewhere, sometime, somehow... Maybe at a MWNP event or outing in the near future??
Waiting for comments from the group.

Excellent updates chuck!

It's so cool! Using the link buttons at the top under that sweet banner! You all rock!

Dave F......Chuck is away for the weekend but I'm sure he'll be able to answer your questions when he returns.
For starters....there is already a link to your web page, from the Members page. Jim E also has banners/links if you want to place one on your site linking to NPN at this URL. http://www.naturephotographers.net/links.html
Hey Chuck - nice job! That really looks great - thanks for taking this on.
Hey Kerry - no fair double dipping!!

Thanks for all the kind words folks. I'm pleased with our progress so far. More to come. Stay tuned ...
Dave, here are the links you need. Not sure if you're doing you own web site design or if someone else is. All you have to do is create links on your page and connect them to these addresses. (Email me if this doesn't make sense.) I don't think Jim will have any problems with you promoting NPN in your materials. If you wanted to send him the copy you want to use, that would be a good place to start. (Keep in mind he travels a lot and he is limited to weekends for most email communications.)

Christopher, truth is the ability to have two MWNP listings is the only reason I go back and forth between Chicago and Indianapolis every two weeks.

Woof! (Cough)
