Here’s a great post from WPDesigner on using WP as a membership directory. It’s a fairly easy step by step guide to the process, which also outlines the plugins you need to use.

The latest Adsense incarnation - rounded corners - nice! :) About time Google got out of the dark ages and realised that angular ad placements are sooooo last decade!
