As mentioned above, with the new layout we will now be able to track the visits to each article. We will use this statistics to figure out the most and least popular articles. Since our goal is to provide you content that is useful and interesting, we will be modifying or removing unpopular articles.

This issue Frank Christ updates us on the winners of the LSCHE 2001 Web Site Excellence Awards. Frank also shares with us what makes these sites special and provides a checklist you can use to evaluate your own web site. I'm sure you will all find this information valuable.
