As the DJJD webmaster, I am proud to announce this years design overhaul.  I've worked closely with my good friend, and web developer Adam Gurno to upgrade to the latest version of Drupal, the "content management software" that drives the site.  We've added in stylistic changes along with a color theme that matches this years button. 

Check out the clickable image map on the front page that directs you to its respective event pages. 

We'd like to know what you think?  How does it look?  Do you have any suggestions for future changes?
