This website was made for professor Karla Erickson's Introduction to Sociology class during the Spring 2006 semester at Grinnell College by Mark Root-Wiley. The assignment was to research anything related to Sociology. This is what I chose.
Questions, comments, criticisms, bug reports, or anything else can be sent too Mark Root-Wiley at rootwile@grinnell.edu. Or, of course, you could just plan love me. [rootwile]

The site has been tested in PC Firefox and IE and Mac Firefox. I have only seen it look bad in Safari on Macs, but there have been reports of it looking fine. I'm not really sure what's going on there. I can't find a Mac with IE, but IE and Mac should never be used in the same sentence (a sin I have committed two-fold). It looks best in Firefox.
This site was styled using a variant of my "School Spirit" style sheet which is available for use as a Plans style sheet by anyone who wishes. To use it, paste
Rollovers on A Short Introduction to Plans' Features and Plans Usage were created with the overLIB javascript library. Many thanks to it.
There is also a stat counter on this site for the sole purpose of inflating my ego by being able to tell people how many people visited my site for more than 2 hours (most likely "0") last Tuesday.
