Updates and follow up

 Ran out of time last week while conversing about:

• Boston Massachusetts page:  SEO, appearance, 12,900 views 
• Desktops vs tablets 
• Hub page (mock up):  Massachusetts Genealogy Guide- an SEO designed page. Title chosen by FHL SEO expert.  Feedback:  Need user testing.  
• Reason for page layout-graphics (Boston) 
• Placement of sidebar - concern that they are mostly for volunteers and take up space.

Any additional questions or feedback?

Priority Items

Community Council Report

Library Council meeting cancelled for now. 

Business/Announcements

Reference tag issue:  Some are missing leading sloped bracket "<"  in ref tag.  This is causing pages to become unformatted and injects a closing reference statement. Wiki editor cannot interpret this. The page has to be manually reconstructed. Check history to see if there is an earlier version that can be used.
