	Some pages will need a block of contextual links in a sidebar. For the blog it will be categories and recent/related posts. Where we've broken out a page/topic into sub-pages, we'll list and link those. Note that wordpress might struggle to deal with one page being a sub-page of more than one other page.. so perhaps a related-to relationship is a better way of modelling it. Or we could have "sub-pages" and "related pages" in a sidebar.		Some pages will need a block of contextual links in a sidebar. For the blog it will be categories and recent/related posts.

* Galleries/Youtube etc. links

= Navigation =

We should have a persistent top navigation bar that is present on all pages, as well as a footer bar for meta info, login and other member and admin links

Status: merely my (Sam's) proposal. Edit at will. Names/labels are WIP and placeholder. We can bike-shed about this at our leisure. Note that we should try and keep existing URLs mapping to an equivalent page where it makes sense - the actual URLs should change rarely and only when necessary.

Top, Global Navigation
* Home
* About Us
* Get Involved
* Support EMS
* Blog
We might want to do a tooltip or sub-navigation thing to help people discover sub-sections and pages. Also, lets cross-link liberally in the text of each page where appropriate.
== Footer ==
* Copyright info [included]
* Social links, Newsletter signup [social links are at top bar]
* Contact Us - once more for the hell of it
* Login, Site Admin Links (conditional on login) [currently on sidebar]
== Contextual Navigation ==

Some pages will need a block of contextual links in a sidebar. For the blog it will be categories and recent/related posts. Where we've broken out a page/topic into sub-pages, we'll list and link those. Note that wordpress might struggle to deal with one page being a sub-page of more than one other page.. so perhaps a related-to relationship is a better way of modelling it. Or we could have "sub-pages" and "related pages" in a sidebar.
