Hi Katherine-
For a variety of reasons I have made little use of the web although I
have participated some in designing the LCHC and MCA web pages, which have
been implemented by graduate students. I still find access from home, where
I am most likely to work on the web, difficult (from LCHC it is easy, but
I am so tied up with live people there it is not a good place to browse/work
from). Also, we have found access for the kids we work with after school
to be very flakey and unreliable.
I strongly resonate, despite my limited experience, to the participatory
view of web site construction. I have been looking a little at "expert"
sites set up for book companies because there is discussion about creating
a site for the developmental text my wife and I write. What I have seen there
is quite discouraging... so much so that I stopped our publisher from going
ahead until we had time to enter that medium for that purpose very carefully.
My impression is that xmca-ers are, by and large, not heavy web users yet.
Presumably that will change in the time to come. Advice about interesting
sites to learn from would be greatly appreciated.
