I'm quite pleased that you decided to produce & post the interview.
It partially resolves a
pet peeve I have: Web sites that have
no page devoted to
what the Web site is about. My peeve resulted from my years of providing a separate Web page (i.e.,
not a mere
side-bar) that lists
external Web sites (e.g.,
CathInfo). After presenting my own comments on each, which might be a mixture of laudatory-vs.-critical [
#], it seems only fair that I
link to a
single Web page on that external site that presents its owner's, moderator's, or webmaster's
own claims, goals, or other summary material. So as considered for
CathInfo, that would be a page where you might discuss your Web site's history and current significance to the Resistance, summarize the establishment of your St. Dominic chapel, and link to the <
/about> pages of Bp. Williamson and each of those whom he consecrated. It's a Web-page suitable for more content than would seem advisable nowadays (if exercising the
"further review" of the season) to still be squeezing into each & every header or footer on
CathInfo.
Alas, a disappointly high proportion of quite useful external Web-sites provide no such Web-page. But when provided, it would preferably be maintained as a
static page, e.g., <
www.cathinfo.com/about/>, to be kept
free from extraneous content, including any & all follow-on discussion. Providing such a page has been customary on a wide variety of Web-sites for well more than a decade--if not 2. If & when you were to decide that you omitted important content that ought to be presented about yourself as moderator, or your site overall, just edit it in (then also please update that
static page to display a conspicuous revision-date, preferably near the
top, not the bottom, of the page).
I
really do
not want that page, when on, e.g., a Catholic Web-site, to be cluttered with changeable content, e.g., a schedule of chapel Masses & sacraments, a saint-of-the-day biography, nor latest news from Menzingen or the Vatican; such content can easily be provided on a Web-site's main page if one believes he must, but better yet, on separate Web-pages, e.g., <
www.cathinfo.com/schedule/> or <
www.cathinfo.com/chapel/>, <
www.cathinfo.com/todays-saint/>, or <
www.cathinfo.com/news/> (all 3 now hypothetical).
To satisfy readers eager to see the discussion that followed your
original posting, you would simply
link the
static page to this
topic as posted at <
https://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/interview-with-matthew-the-moderator/>.
Please keep in mind that I opened this reply by expressing approval of your interview posting. I know fully well that I have no standing to change anything about the organization of
CathInfo. But I would like to believe that a fellow "
Software Developer" would grant favorable consideration to the
logic & merit of what I'm recommending. And I have no doubt that you already know technically how to make it happen.
