Yeah! Thanks Laura and Thomas! Some cool features: you can print the whole hub in one document or just print the page; RSS feeds are incorporated (for now just the GLRPPR IPM Sector Resource feed, though more could be added); and there are convenient buttons up top (just above the navigation tabs) for bookmarking or sharing information (via Facebook, Delicious, email, etc.). This info-geek (Joy Scrogum) is pleased.
