Marc,
You said, " You will find the link on the 3rd menu line "Artwork Resources"
on the marketing wiki page."

Actually, no, I DO NOT see that link, either on the main marketing page or
on the marketing materials page. If it's there, it's so obscure that it
might as well not exist.

I don't care where the links are kept as long as that place is easy to find
-- that is, linked logically from places where an occasional visitor might
be expected to look. It would *never* occur to me to look under "Artwork
Resources" for brochures! (Even if I could find "Artwork Resources", which
I can't find.)

I agree that the "brochuretypes" page is not a good place to put approved
items, because it is too busy.
