Vic Ceder has redesigned his site just a tad—mainly making the internal site links at the bottom of each page easier to read. Speaking of redesigns, Debi Bliss has totally redesigned her site, Bay Area Square Dancing. I think I liked the old design better…it was more abstract or something…but this is nice, and she did a great job with the photo in the upper left corner. The costumes aren’t too extreme, and the dancers actually look young…what a concept.

However, content definitely rules at Debi’s site. My favorite find on this visit is an article from the Wall Street Journal in 1987 (several years before I found that calling is my calling), Calling is Not My Calling. I also like her article Abandon Graduation Ceremonies, and her article on Demonstrations has some good things to consider.

I found this article several years ago listed on Rob French’s (now Bill Heyman’s) Western Square Dancing site. (I have to admit, it’ll always be just dosado.com to me.) Anyway, when I checked a couple of years later, the link was broken. So I went searching, and found it again: My Parents Were Undercover Square Dancers. Bill doesn’t have the link anymore (at least not under humor, which seems like an obvious place. But it is listed in the Open Directory.

Yesterday, I mentioned the inaccessible (at least to me) chatroom on Romney Tannehill’s site. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the #squaredance channel on the undernet IRC network. For info on this, see The Fun Channel on Dave Gipson‘s site. I don’t know if this channel is still active; at one point, there were scheduled chats several nights a week; I know because I was there. But I haven’t participated in years, so I can’t vouch for it (and I’m not a big chat fan and don’t have an IRC client installed on any of my computers, so I can’t check it out).
