Re: Homepages, once more with feeling!

Jim Thomas' post concerning the NIU homepage are right on the money, and, I
believe, accuratley reflect the feelings of many of us who attended the last
webmasters meeting. The inability on the NIU administration to seek input from
the one group best capable of providing meaningful insight is appalling.

There is, perhaps, one bright light here. It may be that members of webmasters
were not consulted because the higher ups just don't know of our existence.
(For example, my web site, active now for nearly two years, is still not
appearing as a link on any NIU site!) I take this to mean that I can proceed
as usual without any interference since the administration can't/won't find
me :)

I urge the members of webmasters to continue to do their great work (by the
way Aline's page on the webmasters is a terrific start!) and by the time NIU
gets its act together, the web will be obsolete, replaced by some even cooler
internet technology.
