Will the links to gc.com pages still work for people who don't have IDs there yet too? I figure they do.
Cemeteries is spelled incorrectly in the left-hand column.
It operates pretty easily though!

Actually you do "join" the site to get full access by registering.

Maybe we should have one more "Invitation" page that explains that registration to the CMS site is free and implies membership, as membership is open to anyone. We want to keep the "Welcome" page a simple as possible, so another page could ease them into the main site.

That page could also list a few features of the site, and provide a link and bookmark to bypass the "Welcome" page and "Invitation" page.

Something like, "Join NWOGEO.org for free, by registering on our main site and to gain full feature access." to start off with.

The "Welcome" page could then say something like, "Click here to learn more about joining NWOGEO.org for free."

The current links to the GC website are links that anyone can access even if you don't have an account through them.

I will add the Invitation site and create it to add on still. I will also include the current mission statement on the invitation page and add it to the Welcome page also
