SB called needing some help with Cascade; I walked her through adding a photo and putting it on a faculty member's page. Another problem was that a link on the Research page, pointing to the archive of LB's old Classical Myth page, was broken; someone obviously built a special copy of the material there on web.uvic.ca/grs, and pointed to it, but had forgotten that web.uvic.ca/grs would be redirected to www.uvic.ca/humanities/greekroman as soon as the site was published, so the link would stop working as soon as it was needed. I've moved that content to the lancenrd account and changed the link.

As I worked in Cascade I found a host of other errors in the contact info: email addresses were linked to the wrong mailto, or not linked, and phone number text was different from the phone number in the tel: link underlying it. I eventually fixed all these (as far as I can tell), but had to published the whole site to propagate the changes.
