Interestingly enough, we have been contacted recently for a possible West Coast Guam Reunion sometime now that we are out here, and I have to say I’m rather excited about the possibilities. For one thing, it will require me brushing the dust off of the guamreunion.com domain and actually coming up with a theme and content that will be useful and usable. Part of that step, though, will be coming up with a basic WordPress theme that will be functional and easily maintained, and that is where I’m hoping my reader base will come in.

I have the know-how to create a WP theme, but in the realm of graphic design, a guru I am not. I’m hoping that some of you may have some experience and ideas on how best to capture a good design for this type of site and may be willing to pass your ideas along to me (preferably in the form of a PSD). So, Brade, Danny, Kammer (et all), I hope you are reading this!

The site is really quite simplistic in nature, so the design doesn’t have to be anything uber complex. I am looking for something that will have the following things and possibly a couple additional segments as things develop:

1. RSS aggregator listing for random Guam news
2. Featured article section for highlighting a specific entry
3. Recent posts section for displaying – what else? – recent posts
4. Upcoming reunion details – specifics for the next reunion

I’m sure there will be other sections that would be useful for such a site, but those will come with time, I’m sure. My hope is that this will allow us to use the existing domain with a new design and structure in order to gather and use feedback and input to better schedule and flesh out the details for upcoming gatherings.

If you have ideas or design submissions, I would love to hear/see them!
