Finally some news - but sorry, not about Shalane - but just for this site.
I have moved (almost) everything away from a content management system (CMS) to a static site.
The reason for this is that I don’t have the time to permanently keep the technical platform up to date. With all the AI tools floating around, this is more necessary than ever. Only the gallery will remain interactive for now but will also be moved to something that needs less underlying web server tooling. I also need to add a contact form so that - in the rare case of someone wanting to contact me for some website related reason - she/he can.
The other reason is that a site like this doesn’t need any interactive elements anymore. Shalane ended her Dallas carreer almost 40 years ago, so there are simply no news about her.
I might add some of the stuff that were in previous versions of this site, but don’t count on that.
However, since The ShalaneMcCall Appreciation Page was my first ever homepage (originally hosted at Geocties), I will keep it for nostalgica reasons. (And I used about ~400 Kiro credits already to convert a Drupal website into a static website.)
