About this site

Why a website?
This website is intended to provide a detailed description of my academic achievements, and to share a little bit about myself.  Since the majority of my work is done online, it makes sense to me that any description of my work should be online, too.  Besides, providing access online to information about my teaching, scholarship, and service is the most efficient and most effective way to share it.

Organization of this website
There are three main sections to this website: (1) a year-by-year description of my activities (top menu); (2) a general overview of my accomplishments, achievements, and artifacts (left menu); and (3) a series of support pages (bottom menu) to assist visitors with finding what each needs.

Using this website
This website is designed to be simple to use, easy to navigate, and accessible by anyone with an Internet connection (including dial-up).  This site has been tested on both PCs and Macs, using the latest versions of both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.  The design utilizes CSS stylesheets and XHTML 1.1 for a consistent layout and adheres to accepted industry design standards.
