I am rebuilding this site, both as an exercise to learn (yet) another content management system as well as to get rid of the embarrassing and outdated DreamWeaver monstrosity that was the old site.
While normally projects like this happen in the background and magically appear one day, that approach hasn't worked for me on this site so far. So we'll call this a proces of continual improvement, starting with Drupal 7.2 and the 'stark' theme.
