Beta review from Gordon Olmstead-Dean

The spouse went through the site using the "beta test tasks" we listed. Here is his response:

So I did a quick check through of the site.

Most things seemed to work.  

I couldn't specifically identify what "Beat" was supposed to be.  I presume it's a publication or publication category, or describes all the podcasts, but, I wasn't clear on that.

I could find and play the podcasts fine.

In general the site seemed to work pretty well.  I thought ### for phone numbers was inelegant [I asked him what he was talking about: he said the registration form]

(000) 000-0000  would look better and sprawl less....better still be able to take the number in any format and automatically parse it, but that may be beyond your platform.

Also, he says when he logged in the top (red) menu bar offers options: Home | About NCFY | Calendar of Events | Contact Us | Free Publications - Search

When I am logged in I see Home | Funding | The Beat | Topics | Tools & Training | Library | About Us | Contact| Log In. I assume this may be a difference in the user type, and we may want to change that to be consistent across the board.
