[LPL Board of Directors] Website improvement suggestion

[Adrien Monteleone]

Excellent point.

I was copying the menu structure used by LP.org at the time.

(which begs the question, was he searching on OUR site or LP.org - many 
people do not know there is a state site or a state platform)

The reason for the "Issues" structure is we'll have more to put there 
than just the platform, and the platform is a formal document that 
doesn't include other things that will fit under "issues." (like the 
Amendment guide for example)

Right now, the State Platform is a just the first section - General 
Principles.

The second section - Policy Positions has not been drawn up or adopted.  
Though there are some working documents on this I can share with 
everyone.  Perhaps we can adopt these as Board policies by resolution 
until they are integrated into that section at a convention. (the LNC 
does something similar)

Here's what I'll do, since most people are going to be looking for 
"platform" I'm going to highlight it by moving the "Are You Libertarian" 
section to the top.

I'll also add the following links there (and in the "issues" menu):

National Platform
State Platform

Take a look at the site now and let me know if you think this 
accomplishes the goal while preserving the concept of the more inclusive 
"issues" menu.
