TIKI Talk Episode 53 is all about websites. Why are they important? How have they changed? Why was ours not very good? What are we doing to make it better? What makes a website good or bad? What are some examples? Mike goes full fledged Old Muppets at the Theater / Oscar the Grouch mode for supreme entertainment.

Enjoy!
