[Sagamore Online] Kindergarten Open House

[Kim Speece]

Can the open house be a link AND be on the home page. We can get rid of that video from last year at the bottom. Is it possible to put the wildcat, calendar, open house info and ads?
Please correct me if there is something else that needs to stay. 

Thanks!
Kim

Trick again is to not blow away those old URLs (or do we?).  Google Sites does not seem to provide any redirection facilities.  I've familiar with setting up a reverse proxy in Apache (so we can proxy the new from Google Sites, but redirect the old links), but we'd have to pay $15/m at Dreamhost to upgrade to a VPS to make it happen (there).  I know that's pretty hardcore, so maybe we just do it for a year then cut the old URLs loose?  What do you think?
