HOME, HOME ON THE WEB Ever since the World Wide Web became the medium of choice for distributing information on the Internet, the Penland publication team has been discussing the need for a Penland Home Page. Unfortunately, our hands keep getting filled with little details like catalogs, flyers, handbooks, auc tion materials, and the Penland Line. Imagine our surprise, then, when the shoemaker’s elves showed up in the middle of the night and did the job for us. Well, actually, it was one large elf, Steve Miller, who is bet ter known for his expertise in prc-clectronic technology. Steve heads the MFA Program in the Book Arts at the University of Alabama and he produces limited edition, hand made books of contemporary literature. When he found out that our perpetual friends at the University of Florida had offered space on their Internet-connected mainframe, he vol unteered to create a Penland Web site. The page, which went online in December, contains basic information about the school, photographs, and news. It’s linked to Penland’s e-mail address and Steve is working on connections with other craft related areas on the Net. In the future we hope to add class and public events listings. Steve has offered to maintain the Penland site for the foreseeable future. Our page is listed in the major Web index, so it’s easy to find, and Steve reports that it has had over 450 hits since the beginning of the year. Be sure to surf over to http://www.arts.ufl.edu./penland/ and have a look.
