I added a new Sub Task called Web Site, and added a new Task, phpWebSite 
theme creation.

http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=114417&group_id=5757&group_project_id=42450

Andrew, please tweak if needed.  I put as highest priority (9) and 10 
hours seemed adequate, but I was only guessing.  It may take someone 30 
minutes to 2 hours for all I know.

Potential advantages of using Tasks:

* keep track of open tasks and their statuses as we get more tasks
* look back at all the completed tasks for a sense of accomplishment
* show refer people to the open tasks when they offer non-specific help
* increase the project's SF activity rating to maybe get in the top 10 
for visibility
* refer people to the closed tasks to see what has already been done

I haven't had a chance to learn about phpWebSite yet.  By next week I'll 
make time to learn and then I'll know enough to say something.  ;-)
