One more thought: I love the blog format and don’t want to mess it up, but I think there needs to be an index of the complete season on the blog site as well, maybe (probably) under a different tab. Something like the FA blog site?

Video on the web is one of those areas of specialization in computers that has a world of its own, with its own community and language. The next step in the learning process is to begin to synthesize my knowledge of web video into new modes of presenting information, and hopefully, new modes of learning. What I’ve also learned is that it’s all about the workflow. [...]
