15. update my website
I reorganized my site today so that the architecture makes more sense. A bit of history...until a few months ago, I had my site in a user's domain at earthlink.net. At that time, I had my blog, Wanderings of a Student Librarian, as the top page and everything else under it. For the most part, it made sense, since most of what was on my website had to do with school.
A few months ago, we got our own domain name (mollprojects.com). To get things up and moving quickly, I just moved everything over together without changing the architecture. But things started getting confusing.
Now that I am gradually moving away from studenthood and into professional status, I can imagine wanting a website that is not necessarily dominated by my blog. I am also finding things to put on my website that have little to do with being a student or (gasp!) with being a librarian.
So, a more flexible architecture that is pretty evident from my top page, joy.mollprojects.com.
Obviously the top pages need some design work. But getting the architecture correct was a prerequisite to updating my website in more interesting ways.

Joy,
Thanks for the comment you posted to my blog a few days ago. I did respond there and have finally gotten a chance to check out your blog.
BTW Tom Peters (http://www.tompeters.com) uses his blog has the core "thing" on his web site. It is quite interesting AND it works.
Happy belated birthday! I've got one coming in a few weeks and am thinking about selecting a previous age and making that my current one! (Unfortunately, my body exudes signals of post 40 life, so the pretense wouldn't hold.)
