While I think that the blog has great potential as a component of the
library's public face and as a Web research starting point, I find that I
can easily do all of the things that Alice notes that you can do with a
blog. I can do so quickly and easily and with no support needed from a
tech person, and I do not need to know how to use HTML language. I use
Netscape Composer to create all my pages, including the CHS LIbrary page:
http://melvil.chicousd.org/

Don't give up on Web pages quite yet!
