I like that idea Kim!! It is always nice to be able to sport awards you
receive on your own websites. Makes me want to volunteer on someone's
website so I can get one :)

What if we do both? A generic graphic that can be posted on the site
that
does not split up by name and one that the coordinator can give to
the
individual volunteer that they can post on their own sites (if they
have
one). They could also put it on the pages that they do transcriptions
on.

I was working on one last night and accidentally fell asleep, but
will
finish it up tonight.
