Maish Nichani of PebbleRoad has been looking at a lot of college Web sites lately, and he likes what he sees. Many college sites have long been hamstrung by complexity and piecemeal design, he writes, but a number of them seem to be turning a corner.
What are college Web designers doing now that they weren’t doing a couple of years ago? According to Mr. Nichani, they’re making intuitive front pages, tightening sitewide organization, incorporating standard graphic themes, and embracing tools like RSS feeds. —Brock Read

Good luck! I hope you get a great crowd.

You know, I always have that feeling of horror before such an event that no one will come at all. I believe this stems from having attended ballroom dancing class (yes, dancing class) in the eighth grade and realizing that instead of the sixty or so children of the better families who had been in dancing class the year prior, I had been signed up for the “other” dancing class by mistake — and there were only about ten very unpopular people in it. More than you wanted to know, right?

How was it? Crowds, or ((crickets?))

It was great! A nice sized crowd who got really engaged & there was a terrific discussion afterwards.

Thank you! What an interesting event. Everyone was very polite, but no crickets.

I wish I could have been there, but it would have been a hell of a commute. Still, I just finished writing up some recent history, and it kind of kicked my ass. I could have used some tips.
