I know that wanton mass linking is a bad, evil thing which destroys the internet (and boosts my Technorati ranking!) but all the same I’m inclined to send out a quick pointer to Karine Joly’s website, CollegeWebEditor.com, since it is her birthday! Assuming that, like boats, we give feminine pronouns to blogs. Her blog celebrates its 2nd anniversary tomorrow, Monday, February 12th. And it gets a redesign as a present!

Andrew Careaga is already on top of it over at his Higher Ed. Marketing blog with pictures and run-through. By the way: I love orange.

Now, the site implosion? I upgraded to a new 3Column K2 install, got bored, tried to downgrade, and everything went to hell. K2 for WP 2.1 digs its claws in and doesn’t like to leave, even if it says it’s a good houseguest. So now I have to set everything up earlier than I expected, meaning that I might get a redesign at the same time Karine’s site does, for no particular reason! Hooray!

Which leads me to ask, any requests for anything around the site? Obviously things are a little in shambles right now, but that can’t be helped at the moment. It’s functional for now and isn’t bleeding SQL errors. But, while I’m fixing, I could be adding new fun things. Blech.

edit: as the studious reader might have noted I had initially tagged this post rather disapprovingly. An accident! I was originally referring to some negative qualities about my own web-design failure, the angst having nothing to do with Karine’s very nice implementation. Here, by the way, is a picture of her quite good-looking redesign. Sorry for the bad taxonomy, Karine! Careless blogging is bad blogging.
