Hi Brian!

Thanks a lot for providing me you "baposter" class. I have used it to create
two posters for the Congress of the European Association of Agricultural
Economists (EAAE) in Ghent (Belgium). One of these posters (see attached file
SocialCapitalPoster.pdf) has won the prize for the best poster of young
researchers (<36 years)  :-)  :-)  :-)

When I prepared these posters, I have extended/modified your baposter class
(see attached file baposter.cls):
1) I have removed the page number (it was mostly not visible before).
2) The "margin=" option works now.
3) The setting "background" can be "none" now (otherwise the "showframe"
    option (see below) has no effect)
4) I have added some class options
  a) a4shrink: shrink the paper to A4 size (for printing drafts or handouts)
  b) movebody=Xpt: move the text/poster body Xpt to the right
       (or to the left if Xpt is negative),
       e.g. for manually centering the poster on the page
  c) showframe: use the "showframe" option of the "geometry" package
  d) a0paper (default): set paper size to A0
  e) archE: set paper size to Arch E
5) I have documented these extensions/modifications in the changelog
6) I have increased the version number from 1 to 1.1

If you like (some of) these changes, you can provide this version on you
homepage and (my suggestion) also on CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/).

Best wishes,
Arne
