Now New and Improved w/ Fresher Scent!
Thank you all for your comments in answer to my FAQ. I’ve removed the wall of privacy, which really was just a screen door considering that anyone could register. Those of you who want to read the blog with your blog reader of choice should find this easier. However, the blog remains unindexed by search engines and you still need to register to comment. Registration is automatic so shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.
I’ve decided to keep myself as the sole author for now because the original focus was on my learning experiences as a new cto. I wanted (and still want) the blog to chronicle what I’ve learned in my new role and how my past experiences have prepared me for this position.
Here are some stats about the blog. There are 53 registered users, and the 40 whom I know include CIOs at large research universities, CTOs at small liberal arts colleges, IT professionals in higher ed and the commercial sector, instructional technologists, systems administrators, software developers, help desk managers, security czars, open source gods, and my mother, sister, and aunt. I didn’t start tracking stats till the week before it went private, so I can’t really compare how privacy changed the number of visits. The blog averages 460 visits a week.
I’ll get back to topical postings tomorrow. Thanks, again!
