Acknowledgments 

Some of the work shown here is used in a book, instructor's manual, and Web site, the development of which is supported in part by National Science Foundation grant DUE 0088184, User-Centered Web Site Design. I am deeply grateful for this support.

Major improvements have been made in Spring 2003, based on suggestions from my students, Luis Reyes especially, and from Rhonda Schauer, a Web design consultant, who has taught me more than I thought it was possible that I didn't know. I am slowly, but with determination, getting rid of tables used for layout, which is an obsolete way to use HTML--although regrettably still seen much too often. Rhonda has been a big help with this, and still is.

This site is a redesign of an earlier one. The revisions were made easier and better for the help I got from the students in my Web Design course in the Fall 2000 semester. We worked on the site as a class for about four weeks, learning about user interest studies, user testing, and navigation design.

I suppose no site is ever “perfect,” assuming that term could be meaningfully defined in this context, but this one is better for the help of my students.
