For my part, I eventually lost my username and password for You Made Me Theorize, so I am unable to make any changes to it at all. The current state of it is a bit embarrassing—my bio is out of date, the marginal items seem to have disappeared, and one of the top posts reflects a moment in time when trash talking Tim Tebow seemed like a necessary thing to do (has that time passed yet?). All of this says nothing about the blog’s backend, which I know is a mess of empty settings and broken widgets.
Still, I cannot let this project go. I am hoping that this humble webpage will establish a long-lasting link to You Made Me Theorize that might increase the possibility that my former students will, in their wanderings around the Internet, stumble upon it again. We will see.
One last thing: the words on You Made Me Theorize were written well over a decade ago by students who were, essentially, doing their homework. No one should be judged in any way based on work that they completed under those circumstances so many years in the past. Having taught these students, I know them to be excellent people who worked hard and who took their studies seriously. If you happen to cross their paths in the present, you should take them seriously, too.
