2. Connection with PR and Women's Rights made, and content
is being recieved from both teams
3. Requests are made for Biography, so that info and picture can be uploaded onto website.

Comments on Availability on Resources:
At this point, I have a reasonable amount of content to work with, however I can only
work as fast as the content comes to me, and I understand that each of the teams are working
hard to send in content when they have spare time.
For the later portions of work, in which I was requested to use Adobe Photoshop, since I only had it at school,
I may need to find a computer or a person that I can ask to use the software to create banner, etc.
Still Need Biographies and pictures from PR, along with a good amount of pictures so that I can start sorting everything out.

List of Tasks

Here's a preliminary list. These are not set in stone. If anyone has a new idea, please share it with the rest of us.

Before we look at the actual site, make a sample website in your
localhost with a new theme and some Pages.

Install one custom theme from online. I am using Zen Classic, which we
might be using as a basis for our actual theme:
