About Amherst survey


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I'm going to change About Amherst from a blog to a website, and I think it should be more focused -- but on what? If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate hearing them. Some of my thoughts:
1) Bugs and other Amherst creatures with insights from About Amherst's entomologist and ecologist, aka Brian.
2) Inns and hotels I've visited and interesting places to go near and far from Amherst
3) Life of Hester (seen above)
4) Amherst, but in a more organized way

Let me know, THANKS!

  1. Of course I vote for Life of Hester, LOL! I have your blog bookmarked but haven't checked it in quite a while because it seemed you'd stopped posting. I think all four of your ideas are fine.

  2. Can't you just do all of it, like in your blog? If so, why change? But maybe you could post more often ;-) No matter what, I will keep checking in with you in the hope to find some news.

    Merry Christmas and a happy New Year,

  4. blogger has some new tools where you can add up to 10 separate 'pages' accessible through buttons clicked from the main page; you can give each of those 4 items it's own 'page' while keeping the front page streamlined.

    people have a facebook attention span nowadays so I'm thinking it's important to keep the webpage as 'easy in-easy out' as possible.

  6. "Bugs and other Amherst creatures" gets my vote. Please keep an RSS feed going if you switch to a website. That's how I catch your updates.
