WILT: Patriarch

Today I learned the etymology of the word Patriarch!

Turns out it's Greco-roman (appropriately, I might add) and comes from two words:


"Pater": Father
(think "paternity test," as in the audience's favorite segment of the Maury Povich show)

and

"Archi/Archon/Archein": To Rule 
(think "hierarchy" or "archdiocese," as in the old Catholic guys that tell people not to use condoms or hire sassy Vegas showgirls as nuns)

  1. Gathering--and in a good direction. Lean, but insightful. Hope it has legs.

    Also: work on the look of the thing. I'm not a fan of centered text. Let's discuss that in class.

  2. Witty and informative, good job!


    Also, I would like to add that I think your background is very fitting with the library shelves. I'm sure that's why you picked it but all of the color in the background works really well with the single column layout. I'm not sure how easy that makes navigation though.
