Site History: July 31 through July 20, 1998

July 31, 1998

Yahoo logo hung on default.htm, on sitecont.htm, and default.htm on local host. Deleted and recaptured logo. Now working. But hand not on either main site or mirror site, because I din't reload, and they're ok. Reported to Yahoo bugs. May be other bugs with Yahoo or other logos. Please e-mail me immediately.
Revising About the Site. Separated site goals from site history. Separated out site navigation and various searches. Adding notations for external links.
From main page, A Child is Dead not accessible. Will check link, but for now, just add /juvcrimes.htm and that will get you there.
Main site is now uploading Site Contents and Site Index.
As soon as Site Contents is done, I'll place instructions somewhere prominently on how to move to a mirror site if something doesn't read. Nag if you need it soon. Things are pretty busy around here.
Trying to coordinate navigation scheme on Home to site contents with titles. Problem is the need for several levels of all site-use categories because of the range of skills of users. i.e. I can't just put up search icons linked to search engines - too much variation in users. So there's quick search, basic prof'l search, library search, amazon.com search - they all offer different perspectives and that needs to be somehow conveyed through the combination of site contents, navigation system and index.

Removed What's New and Time Critical from NEW. It has its own category now.
created two categories under what's new and time critical
current happenings (following discourse through news - which isn't available long)
and changing sites (like a lot of the KIDS sites that regularly put up new stuff.
Cleaned up the mirror site on soclink --wisc/dearhabermas -- small problem in that the mirror site now says THis Is the NEW SITE of Dear Habermas. I guess it should say this is a mirror site, in case someone looks at the URL. On the other hand, I don't know the procedural rules on mirror sites, and it seems relatively harmless for the moment.There may be some links not working probably on the mirror site. Please notify me.
Jeanne's DH diary. Thank you for the all around gratefulness that the stars are gone. Well, actually I left them in a few chosen spots where they still seem OK.
Added amazon com links directly to Habermas Between Facts and Norms, and Calhoun's Critical Social Theory on the Playing with Habermas Working Paper. Can't get file up on the ASA paper. Susan, please send e-mail or route through the Wisconsin mirror site.
Created a file for narrative teaching. Not sure I linked it anywhere. I didn't. Just went back and linked it under narrative and intertextuality. That's the file I can't get up. Should have the actual paper up in a day or so.
By noon had established links to wisconsin Mirror Site for the files we couldn't upload. THIS MEANS ALL FILES ARE NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MAIN CSUDH SITE, EVEN WHILE WE'RE FIXING IT. I didn't test every link. e-mail me, please, if you find one not working.Remembering Manzanar
The Y2K Millennium Bug

Contents page changing fast - categories are shaping up. Will be up soon.

July 28, 1998

First, this is a new habit, and I am going to be remiss. Fuss at me. I will do my best. But I may just catch us up once or twice a week. This is a lot of work, folks.
Today I tried to put navigation on Evaluating Authority Also corrected the loading problem with the page stopping at the Merton article. That was a non-functioning logo, and is now corrected.
More will be added on Merton's OTSOG. This little piece is meant to go with Epstein's impure science, and Barbara McClintock's unwillingness to leave her lab observations to anyone but herself. I want to build links to these, and to Learned of Hawaii acknowledging the disputation that still exists around neutrinos. For now I'll just build links. Got to get the structure up. But this is the kind of synthesis where we could each take a piece and construct important text as we go.
Added validity to index with link to reinforcing what Epstein says about impure science with what Merton said so many years earlier. Did not text link.
Began construction of navigation on Site Contents Page. Using Homepage navigation as the guide, but still think the whole contents is just too much for the Homepage.
Server refusing to upload Site Index, Site Content. And Race and Ethnicity. But they went up on soclink so everyone should use the soclink URL at least temporarily if you're looking for that stuff, till we can fix it. That is not yet genuinely a mirror site, but will be so maintained shortly. It is as close to mirror as I can keep it right now. http://soclink.csudh.edu/wisc/dearhabermas
The Native American material from Santa Fe in May will go up on the Race and Ethnicity file as soon as I can get to it. Nag, if you're looking for it.
Added quotes from Pat Acone. They're all in caps for easy identification. From now on I'll add to the top of the list.

July 21, 1998:

.D.H specially recommends and changed Main Page for Spec Rec
Moved "we specially recommend" to "specrec.htm" Gets it off the homepage, cleaner homepage document.
Alfie's Concerns on Grades and Rewards Added references to special recommendation on Alfie Kohn's piece. Two papers from educ phil which came from link followed from Martin Ryder. Alfie had one hard copy ref. from Covaleskie, but not his online reference, and not the McDonough answer to Covaleskie's categorization of Foucault's theory as reduction to power. Look for those two. Page cleaned up a little.
Rec to Alfie's page Added piece by Andy Lock on Against Cognitivism. We need to separate the social constructivists from the cognitive "scientists. Jeanne Link up on Rejecting Control - Embracing Self-Discipline Title later disappeared when I was restructuring alfiek page. But self link probably still threre.
Because Virtual Faculty shares Alfie Kohn's concern - checked links there. They're old - we're tired, and this is jungle-clearing territory. But Andy Lock's paper "Against Cognitivism" looks like a place to start.

July 21, 1998:

Discipline and Control See the papers cited on that page - navigation not in yet
Scholastic References - rough. Added late in the evening. Moved scholastic references to FEATURES.
Added a Rafi background to Gallery of Poems and Art.
Added Virtual Faculty to Homepage, to What's New, and to Special Recommendations.
Revised and corrected typos in Discourse with Working Americans
Revised plea by Graphics Artists not to link for graphics.
Added Site Additions -- Chronological
Began revision of Site Index and Site Contents
Searched on Geocities for graphic artist with name beginning "ashz" to give her a link for the backgrounds on Dear Habermas and on the KIDS' Page. There were more than 9000 background sites! Will search our Dear Habermas files for her.
Moved Specially Recommend Section below Navigation Section with an internal page link. Provides better coherence for Star Navigation System.

July 20, 1998:

This is when we figured out to go with a Site Additions page. Working forward from here. Will try to clean up older stuff, too. Jeanne
