We have received some good site feedback so far, all things we need to address. Some are things we can control, some our out of our hands because of the tool we use to publish the site:

Site Search
Our full archive should be imported so you should be able to use the site search to find it. However, as of this writing, there are no byline names imported at all. We are working with our partner to fix this oversight. Our own writers are having problems finding their own articles, most notably from this current semester and last, so we are still working on that.

Issue Dates
Issue dates is something that our current CMS does not have. It also does not handle sections and page indexes as the old site did. We are still coming to terms with the new CMS, and finding that we need to make things such as issue indexes ourselves. This is currently at the top of our "to-do" list.

Favicon
Although it may seem trivial to some, it is an important part of a web site's brand. Some have noticed that we no longer have a favicon on bgviews.com, but do if you go to our blogs site. This is because our partner does not allow us to customize the favicon for the site. However we are talking with them about a number of things this week, including the favicon.

Thanks for those who have sent in feedback, we really do apreciate it. Please keep it coming.
