Website cleanup

I've been busy cleaning up my Baylor website. In 2002 when I moved to Baylor, I brought everything, including my website, with me on a 40GB hard disk. My website worked well at USF, and was not too difficult to maintain since the file system containing my pages was mounted on my desktop. At Baylor things are a bit more complicated so I haven't been updating the site at all. This has become something of a joke with the students, so I decided I would clean everything up and take a different approach. All the old USF stuff is going on to an archive page. The new stuff is going two places. I have an archive page for each class along with a BLOG for recent news. I hope this will be easier to keep up to date.
I think that a BLOG is a good way to communicate with students, especially if they use the RSS feed and I use automatic E-Mail updates. I can E-Mail in changes, students get notified immediately, there is a permanent record they can refer to, and they can make publishable comments if they find any problems.
We'll see what happens.
