Inaugural Post

OK everyone, here goes.  This is the inaugural post for the newly-redesigned mcgees.org.  The idea is to have a running web log on the left and push all the links, which used to populate this page, over to the right.  Blogger provides this logging service.  I’m pretty impressed with their interface and the power of their design.  It is also very gratifying to have this log on mcgees.org rather than on some remote site.

The system is this: with a web browser, I can now add a note to my homepage through a convenient text form.  The ease of this (compared to FTP-ing a copy of index.html, making the changes manually, and uploading the new version) will likely result in much fresher content on these pages.  We shall see.

My wife thinks the graphical design (white and green, etc.) makes this page too professional-looking and impersonal.  She may very well be right.  Please feel free to drop me a note at joshua@mcgees.org and give me suggestions on ways to improve this.  [Ed. note, 07 Feb 2001: The design scheme was changed shortly after this post was written.]
