Site Credits
This Web site was created by Professor Matthew D. Blake of California State University at Chico. Matt came up with the basic design of this site while he was doctoral student at the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. (By the way, Matt's dissertation was a terrific example of academic research -- a study of Woody Guthrie's career as a newspaper columnist.)
Over the years, I've added a lot of crap to Matt's basic design -- which was magnificent -- so don't blame him for the garish stuff, like the big type (that's all me). For more examples of his work, see mattblake.net. <Email Matt Blake>
