Yahoo! Search Results for robert denton

Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

Yahoo! Search Results for robert denton excellent! Yahoo has their own search engine. Very well designed results page too. Notice the page title, but I guess google does this too.

Monday, February 16th, 2004

I sort of like from a semantical p.o.v. the way colby lists links on the home page left hand menu — “Colby Links” and “Colby Info”. Sort of sums things up but almost too neatly.

https://cars.colby.edu/ColbyMaster/login?http://www.colby.edu/parents/ This presents a nice picture — they give prospective students a login. They also appear to do something in house for alumni… “Colby Alumni: Use your Blue Light Alumni Services account information. Don’t have an account? Register online.
