Hi, I'm Jim McBee. Thanks for dropping by my site. I hope you'll forgive its unsophisticated layout.
Let me know if you have any trouble with these pages and please don't leave without saying hi.

About me I'm a newspaper designer and editor with years of experience as a mouse jockey; I've reported, taken pictures and made Web pages, managed copy editors and designers and worked on projects. These are dark times for newsrooms -- mergers, layoffs and shrinking news hole are killing morale. But there is hope. Newspapers need to shed the appearance of arrogance and get back in touch with regular folks. Thanks to the Internet, this is easier than ever. Build a bridge between Web and print, invite readers' voices into your pages, and you will win friends. And happy readers make for happy advertisers.
