One alternative is to use image maps as is done now with Featured Articles on the [[Main Page|home page]].[[User:RitcheyMT|RitcheyMT]] 16:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

:Thank you VERY much for the clarification, Michael. I finally feel someone has clarified the issue and I completely understand. The issue is NOT buttons, but rather buttons with text graphically embedded in them. A button is technically as an image map with only one clickable area and that is where the confusion comes from. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas_Lerman]] 16:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC) P.S. A lengthy, but not as clear, discussion is in a [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1850 thread] in the forums.

I love the buttons because I think it is more inviting. From a non-technical point of view, I like them a lot. I think making the wiki more graphical with visual appeal will make it more inviting to non-technical people. I can see that if they create edit problems it could be a challenge and we would want to be careful with that. Is there a way to get both the editability and the visual appeal of the buttons?18:31, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
