Site News
Thursday, September 2, 2004 - I finally updated a page! :-) You can see the excitment on the "hey world, check me out!" page.
Old News
In January 2004, I decided to update my website. The last major update was around Web Design World Boston 2002, but this is a major change. If you are using a browser like Netscape 4 or iCab, this site probably looks pretty plain right now. It uses current web standards and cascading style sheets.

Site Comparison

I was inspired to do the redesign because while looking at the ALA Retooling Slashdot article, I ran across the CSS Zen Garden. The CSS for this site is based on the Bonsai Sky design by Mike Davidson.
The background photo is of the famous Clay Cliffs of Aquinnah (Gay's Head) on Martha's Vineyard. Sandra took the photo on our Thanksgiving 2003 trip to the island.
Since the site makes use of the Sassy! system, I need only to do a one page design and split that into a header and footer file.
