Qonnections section guidelines:

1. To be listed, you must be in our membership database, which means you’ve attended a QMUG/LA meeting. If you want to be listed but haven’t attended one of our meetings, or aren’t in our database, then you’ll want to attend our next meeting.  2. The link itself should be to a page or section about you. If it is to a business, you should be one of its founders or officers.

3. Your name and page/site description must fit on two lines. Because this will vary between platforms, browsers, default fonts and point sizes, the ruler will be qmug.org’s webmaster’s Communicator 4.61 for Macintosh set to Palatino at 12pt.  4. Graphics are currently not being accepted, but this could always change.
