New Web Site Platform and Journal Format

By Stephen B. Combs, Esq.

As Web Site Editor, I have been working on two major projects for the Technology Law Section. The first project was to move the web site to a new platform to accomodate new features. The second project was to offer a web-based format for our quarterly publication, the Georgia Journal of Technology.

Both projects have gone live. The web site now offers many new features, such as RSS feeds, an event calendar, and podcasts. Starting with the Spring 2008 issue, the Journal will be published in PDF- and web-based formats.  The PDF format will still be available on our Journal Archive page.  I hope you enjoy the new web format also. There may be slight editorial changes in the web version to accomodate the change in formats and to better organize the information. Certain information may be removed from the web-based Journal if such information is available in other locations on the web site.

The new changes to the web site and Jornal will allow users to comment on articles and provide feedback on events.  Initially, comments to the articles will be moderated to avoid spam. I look forward to hearing from you. If you have any suggestions, please let me know via the Contact page.
