More changes for the WorldChanging site! We'd like to give a warm welcome to new WC contributor -- and long-time WC ally -- Taran Rampersad. He's an instructor at the University of the West Indies School of Continuing Studies, a writer and a programmer in San Fernando (in Trinidad & Tobago), and he runs a variety of very cool and interesting websites, including KnowProSe and eAsylum (which we mentioned recently). Glad to have you aboard, Taran!

Also, we've added another section to WorldChanging -- QuickChanges. These are brief entries on subjects we find interesting (and think you'll find interesting, too), but, either due to tone or depth, don't necessarily warrant a full-sized entry. The QuickChanges section now inhabits the top of the right side-bar (RSS readers will get the QuickChanges mixed in with the regular posts). Let us know what you think of them!
