Thanks, Eric.
At this point, proper covention calls for me to slightly blush and modestly
shut up. But there is something important at stake here and that is to keep
the fundamental background design of our web pages as simple as possible.
That means to only introduce those elements (of the html, of visual design,
of content) needed for functional reasons (e.g. color cosing of dates above
titles of articles).
In your specific reference, opportunity knocked when I saw the picture of
the medal. The classic "law of moments" got just pushed into my hands and no
complex design (such as that of CNN pages) stood in the way.
More importantly, simple design permits (a) faster changes when called
for.and (b) faster working routines and automation. For example, the simpler
our set-up, the easier for anyone to take over the webmaster's job when the
time comes, perhaps suddenly. And the easier for a good soul to come up with
a script for more rapidly doing the "funny purple numbers," which are all
done now tediously by hand. Finally, it ought to make it easier, if and when
opportunity comes our way, to raise the level of web-page scripting and
morphing the site into a DKR/OHS combo.
In short, just trying to remain prepared for harvesting the fruits of future
evolution.
