You might notice a few changes to the website today. We've been busy shuffling things around, trying to help it serve the thousands of different people (35,000 this month) who visit the site. This includes adding a dedicated press page linked to from the main menu, and developing a set of pages which attempt to explain to newcomers why particular issues get us going. We've also added pages for people who want to get more involved with ORG and it's day-to-day activities, and updated the sidebar with links to our Flickr photo pool, our Upcoming feed and the ORG shop.
Thanks to Ben for the inspiration, to Mike, Sheila, Richard, Ryan, Lemon, Adam and Chris for making it happen, thanks to Michael for nagging everyone until it did, and thanks to Harry, Suw and Rachel for early feedback. We'll probably have missed something, so if you spot any bugs or broken links, please drop a comment below or email info [AT] openrightsgroup [DOT] org to let us know.

Any plans to kick the ORG del.icio.us account back into life?

Its a little confusing having two different ORG groups on flickr, could one be deleted?
http://www.flickr.com/groups/org/
This seems to be dead anyway, with only two members, with the other one
http://www.flickr.com/groups/87677066@N00/
Much more alive but could do with having its name set

Ian - yes, that was holding text and i've now revised to something more suitable, thanks for the reminder.
Zoe - we're using the openrightsgroup tag - http://del.icio.us/tags/openrightsgroup/ - rather than that account these days, guess we should have publicised the move better. So if you come across a digital rights story or whatever, then use the openrightsgroup tag and one of our newsbloggers will review for postage. See http://www.openrightsgroup.org/newsblog/ for a flavour of our interests.
The feedback is great, thanks guys, keep it coming.

Looks good, but I think the "issues" page needs rewording a bit. "The Open Rights Group supports a number of issues." implies these are all things that ORG is in favour of! Perhaps it should read as "The Open Rights Group campaigns on a number of issues."
