A final word from the WMUL Webmaster
View WMUL Online through the years via the Wayback Machine
Excuse me for the length, but I have four years of reflection to get out. This site has been a labor of love that turned into a work of art, and for that I will be forever indebted to faculty manager Dr. Charles G. Bailey, who granted me free reign to experiment however I wished.
As I hadn't worked on a Web site in five years, I didn't have high expectations at first. My original goal was to give our solid, award-winning sound a decent visual representation. However, after thousands visited the site during Terry Bartley's "88 Hours" marathon and the inaugural Friends of Coal Bowl, I realized that WMUL Online could serve a more practical purpose. Thus began years of experimentation that culminated in 60,000 annual visitors, two national first-place awards, and a prestigious internship with the Denver Post that begins in just a couple of weeks.
But believe it or not, my online success almost didn't happen. I came to Marshall as a broadcast journalism major, and I saw online as merely a stepping stone to the more esteemed news director position. But after Dr. Bailey asked me to reconsider, and taking some time to contemplate and soul search, I decided to stick with online--a decision I will never regret as long as I live.
Now, the keys to this site belong to sophomore online journalism major Tyler Kes, who has been doing a phenomenal job as my protege. I won't lie--I had long worried that my years of work would come crumbling down once I stepped aside, but if there was ever anyone who deserves a "Deven Swartz Stamp of Approval," it's Tyler. So please give him a warm welcome and cheer him on. I already am.
I won't miss Huntington that much, but I will most certainly miss WMUL. It's been nearly my entire life since my first semester at Marshall in 2004, so this is one of the most difficult goodbyes I have ever had to make. To the online visitors, I hope I did something that enhanced your Internet experience. Though I heard from only a handful of you, I still strove to make changes with only your best interests in mind. To the staff, I owe you all so much for showing me how to appreciate being a national champion. I hope we will cross paths again. I'll stop by the station once in a while to visit, I promise. It's been fun, y'all.
