Soliciting Your Comments for Website 17

Posted July 28, 2005, 6:46 p.m.

I am beginning some preliminary prototype and design work for the next version of this site—Website 17—and I’m interested in your comments. I want to know what you like and dislike about the look of the site, as well as your thoughts on how I can improve the organization and the content. Generally, how I can make Off on a Tangent better? Your input will be taken seriously, and stands a good chance of influencing the final site (whenever I get around to making it).

For those who haven’t been following the development of this site over the years, the current version (Website 16) was a big technical leap forward. Because of the challenges involved with making a huge back-end change to the Mambo CMS (and my limited initial knowledge of the capabilities of the system), I didn’t spend a lot of time developing a visual design I could be fully satisfied with.

Now that I have a well-established system that I understand, I’m going to try to really get back on the ball with the visual design and user interface of Website 17. But I want you all to provide me with some inspiration ;-). Thanks-in-advance for your input!

If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not. . . . We are dealing with fact. Of course anyone can be simple if he has no facts to bother about.

When ‘the two become one’ in the covenant of marriage, the ‘one’ they become is so real that nine months later they might have to give it a name! The child embodies their covenant oneness.

A tax, in the general understanding of the term, and as used in the Constitution, signifies an exaction for the support of the Government. The word has never been thought to connote the expropriation of money from one group for the benefit of another.

In all that follows I adopt the standpoint, therefore, that the inclination to aggression is an original, self-subsisting instinctual disposition in man, and I return to my view that it constitutes the greatest impediment to civilization.
