[MLA] MLA web site

[Kevin Gross]

Robin, sorry for taking so long to get pack to this.

Thanks for getting the links that I was able to recover put up on the Links
page. We haven't heard from any other members about the ones I was not able
to recover so we'll just have to go with what we have there.

I do have the correct text and links on the Home page now. If anyone sees
any problems or potential improvements there, let me know. I had to move
the content out of the "Left Column" content area so I could add the
hyperlinks (perhaps I can type HTML code in the Left Column text box but
that doesn't seem right). This puts the content in the middle of the page
which is fine. All the text is centered which is not so pretty. Let's go
for left justified or something. Also the styling on the links is too
subtle - they show up as underlined only when you hover the mouse over
them. Let's have something a bit more obvious to indicate these are
clickable.

The links on the Links page and paper on the Papers are in the "Left
Column" content area. We'll need to find a way to make layout consistent
with the Home page.

I get an error when I try to open the Loudness Normalization paper on the
Papers page.

In addition to getting this working, we want to have a direct PDF download
link.

The Loudness Normalization paper has a tidal logo. That is not appropriate
for this paper. If we want a graphic associated with this paper, maybe use
this -

We do want to include a link to Eelco's paper (
https://octo.hku.nl/octo/repository/getfile?id=qLlZPGSVXFM) on the Papers
page

We have decided not to have an About Us page; all that information is on
the Home page. You have removed the About Us link from navigation at the
top of the pages. We still have an About Us navigation at the bottom of the
pages.
