Subject: Suggestions to improve your web site
I only use the ALA web site to submit records now & then. I find it very opaque to use. The Home page should have a prominent button to LOG IN. All you have is an inconspicuous link tucked away in a corner to "User Settings". Not self-evident that that is where you log in. Then when you log it, you get the same Home page again! There should then be a big button to SUBMIT RECORDS. All you have is a button that says 'Get Involved'. Again not self-evident, to one who only uses the site every 6 months or so, that that is the choice to submit a record.
PLEASE redesign the web site to make it more user-friendly! Have someone who has never used the site before helping you.

After logging in to ALA, on the initial screen one sees, one should be presented with a clear link to View Submitted Records. I'm not sure how to see what I've already submitted, other than to click the Submit Record button.
