Please, for the sake of the kittens…

Louis Rosenfeld‘s great presentation on web redesign is worth a view — and not just because it has kittens. The slideshow is from a recent “Redesign Must Die” presentation at the University of Illinois, which Rosenfeld mentions on his blog. Hat tip to College Web Guy, who really likes the lipsticked pig picture Rosenfeld put in the presentation.

Go take a look — for the kittens, or for the pigs, if not for the sake of your own institution.

Voting now open for the eduStyle web awards

The nominees for the first-ever* eduStyle Higher-ed Web Awards have been selected. From a list of 1,800 potential nominees, the list has been winnowed down to 37 schools in 18 categories. It looks like some very good designs are in the running. Go to the People’s Choice section and cast your vote. (You must be an eduStyle member to vote, but it’s easy to sign up. There’s no excuse not to, really.)

* I call this the first-ever eduStyle awards rather than first annual -- which is what eduStyle calls it -- because something cannot be annual until it recurs. (Old journalism habits die hard.)
