Two intriguing things found while wandering:
The University of Arizona posts a public "web style" page so all people creating pages under the university's umbrella will show consistent style. In addition, the school posts a history of their website, showing versions of the home page through the years. Intriguing stuff, at the history page and the style guide.
Barbaro the horse got lots of love on Legacy.com, which uses the funeral "guest book" metaphor, and then sells hard copies of the books. Check it out here.

Most universities have a web standards pages. UNC has several. The main standard: http://www.unc.edu/template/
The ITS standard:
http://its.unc.edu/divisions/communications/web-services/template-guide.php
In the movie, "Accepted," some youngsters build a bogus web page to show their parents the "university" to which they've been accepted, after they mess up their real applications. School acronym: S.H.I.T.
The ease of doing that comes home to me now. I understand better why real colleges use email and passwords for their applicants, despite the curse of the overflowing inbox for high school juniors and seniors.
I highly recommend a dedicated email address for such youngsters when filling out forms with the college board, etc....those addresses seem to get sold to many many places.
See the movie for a lightweight laugh.
