The upgrade to MT4 is (basically) complete. I'll be tweaking it a little bit, but overall I like it. The design is one of the many styles in the MT4 style library.
I still need to figure out where I would like to put the blogroll. When I do, I will put it back up with some new links that I've been meaning to post for a while. In the coming days, I will probably find some additional widgets to add to the blog as I try to bring it (and keep it) up to date.
I have set up all of my course websites on a similar style, and they look so much better than the old sites I had. I built my first course website back in about 1996 or 1997 (I think I still have the html files buried somewhere), and have only made wholesale revisions to them in 1999, 2005, and now 2008. I guess that would make these my "Coursepages 4.0". They've come a long way, but still serve the same function. I do think that the blog format will support my course podcasts a bit better than the traditional web page, however.
If you don't see the change in style, just hit refresh. Your browser might have the old stylesheet in the cache.
UPDATE: It appears that the comments are not working at the moment. I'm working on it.
UPDATE 2: Comments are working.

I really like the design. Very clean. Where's your blogroll? I found some good ideas and sources from that list.
Looking forward to more of your excellent analysis.
Thanks! The blogroll will return with a few more items on it, probably by the end of the week.
