This is The Header Then

Added a calendar

September 28th, 2009 . by Jarad

During my job interviews last winter, somebody mentioned they had created a professional google calendar. The purpose of this calendar was to ease the burden of scheduling appointments with students by allowing students to suggest a time when the instructor was available. I have done the same, although at the moment my free time is abundant. The calendar can be found here.

A much better template – Heckerped

September 23rd, 2009 . by Jarad

This template looks promising. I found it at http://imjtk.com/ as a free template. The downsides are the first two links under blogroll and the attribution. Apparently for $35 I can get rid of these, but I think I will wait a bit longer to see if I like this template over all. One upside is that the header images seem easy to modify, but I don’t have to worry about that initially since I actually like the images (except for the one I already deleted).

Welcome

I have just set up my homepage and likely there will be many changes in the near future. Certainly this template will have to change. It is unclear how often I will use this blog feature.
