The Performance Reviews section was one of the biggest sections of catholicboy.com and one of the most difficult to bring back online. I have checked and rechecked and checked again - I think it's all there. This was one of the core parts of the website that got blasted in the 2000s. It's back! This is the section of the website I most treasure. Check it out:

I think the new website is pretty much ready to roll. I'm still hunting down missing content.

For the most part I have recovered the content that has gone missing for so long.

Now I am working on two problems.

The photo galleries are the biggest problem - the failure of the software that organized the photo galleries is THE main reason the website fell into disrepair. I have a good start on reconstructing the photo galleries, but this will be a longer effort. An enormous challenge is mapping descriptions and credits to photos. Argh. One thing that is very obvious is that the photos I have are teeny tiny - per the tech limitations of the dinosaur age. I hope hope hope people who contributed photos will send me BIGGER versions of their photos!

The second problem I am working on is a bunch of "stray" web pages - most but not all are unrelated to Jim Carroll. I have created a new "archive" subdomain for this content.

My biggest job right now is to map every file in the old website to its new version. Partaaaaay! I have to do this before I officially replace the old website with the new one.

I would really appreciate any help testing out the new website. Yesterday I thought I had finished the performance reviews section, but suddenly all of the links were broken. I spent half the day today investigating and fixing that problem, then redoing every fing link on the Performance Reviews page. I will appreciate all reports of broken links any anything else that is going haywire.

By the way, we are creeping up on the 30 year anniversary of catholicboy.com. Wow.
