Re: Web Page: The Garden

[32 flavors and then some <woj@remus.rutgers.edu>]

stev0's review reminded me to tell you all that i finally added the
first slew of interviews from volume 3 of "the garden" to the web page.
http://remus.rutgers.edu/~woj/garden/index.html#volume3 is the place.
go forth and browse.

>What Woj so far has HTMLized he's done a smashing
>top-notch excellent job.  

well, kinda. there are some html goof-ups in there since i started
working on these pages long before i really began to understand the
point of the web and html and i have not yet gone back to fix them.
there is also the problem of a lack of consistent appearance as i was
toying with minimal layout as i went along to. as i think i've
mentioned before, once i finish all the conversion, i'll go back and
address these issues.

there is also the question of graphics. it's not really an issue for me
since i am still living in vt100-land and am completely enthralled by
lynx. i suppose at some point in the future, i'll make the pages a bit
more graphically appealling, but that's really far down on the priority
list. (however, if someone with a good text-setting program wants to
come up with a nifty-looking title banner, please do get in touch with
me!)

yeah, yeah...with the lyrics available on the love-hounds archive
site, spending loads of time to do the lyrics (which it would take)
didn't seem like the most (ahem) value-added effort. bryan dongray's
lyrics update is sitting in a dusty file somewhere and i plan on 
incorporating that into "the garden" eventually.

see! :P ;)

good point. that much i (or ied or some other enterprising love-hound)
should spend the time to update, even if only sketchily.

half of the fun of webifying "the garden" was getting to read it
closely all over again. everyone who considers themself a KaTe scholar
should study and know the material that is taken from the kbc
newsletters - most of what ied and |>oug and chris and others rattle
off comes directly from those pages.

>However, out in this "Garden", it's only half of a  heaven.

hah hah. if nothing else, stev0's reviews get use KaTewebfolks off our
asses and working on those sites. hats off to him for that.
