Important new web site information
A new web site has been created for ChLA. It can be viewed at this link:
The web site you are reading now is no longer maintained and is now
quite out of date. The link to this web site will remain valid
indefinitely (http://ebbs.english.vt.edu/chla/),
as this web server will be used to host special web pages such as the
ChLA 2006 conference web pages (coming soon).
I hope you enjoy the look, functionality, and set of features of the new web
site. Let me know if you have questions.
Jeff the web guy (jeffrey_a_meunier@yahoo.com).
