Hello all

I recommend purchasing the domain name mainegeolibrary.org, then no
matter matter where our website is hosted the name will remain the same.
The cost is minimal.

Actually now that I think about it, the GeoLibrary really should have
its own domain name.  The URLs I previously suggested indicate that the
portal is a "maine.gov" system, which is not really true.  It is a
GeoLibrary system, which just happens to be hosted by Maine OIT for the
time being.

I took the liberty of trying a few and the domain "mainegeolibrary.org"
is available.  "geolibrary.org" is not available.

Any thoughts on this?
