Since I MAY have some extra spare time over the rest of this week, I am going to be visiting all the LAGenWeb sites if possible during that time. I promise I will not be firing anyone except myself, but I will be looking for things that I believe will make the sites better. So when, if, you receive a message from me pointing out improvements I think you need to make to your sites to make them better, believe me, I will be checking my sites against yours and making the same suggestions to myself. I am definitely not running sites that are any better than anyone else in this project. Mine are worse than a number of yours. So, I am taking this time of the year to review my own sites as I review all of yours and apply some of what I learn from each to the others. I will probably look for unique items in your sites and share what I find with all of us here in the mail list as well. I promise not to bombard you all with criticisms, or make you feel bad, it is just that we probably all need to freshen up our sites and raise them to a little higher level. By the way, overall, things go very smoothly here at LAGenWeb. I get very few complaints about any of the sites. I am not "after" anyone, and I doubt that anyone is doing a worse job of keeping their sites up to date than me, so I hope that everyone can take my visits in the spirit in which I am, that is to take this new year as an opportunity to improve the entire look and value of the project. If anyone wants to help by letting us know about neat ideas you are applying to the project, let us all know here in the mail list. Thanks to everyone for another year of contributions to the LAGenWeb Project! and a Happy New Year to you all from me. Edward Hayden LAGenWeb Project Coordinator
