Update Time!

The semester is certainly chugging right along! I will apologize for the delay in this blog-it was written over a week ago, but I forgot about the whole "publish this post" button that demands to be pushed in order to post. Frustrating to say the least.

Regardless, I haven't had a lot of time to spend on the website portion of my project, but rather have been compiling snippets of primary sources and organizing my research in order to have it formatted better for the website. I have also been working on duplicating my project for another class which is proving to be a bit difficult seeing that the content of the two projects is fundamentally different.

Right now, I plan on delving into my primary sources a bit more, linking and adding them to the website, recomposing my historiography in a way that is user-friendly and then starting to draw conclusions from the spatial and digital representation of my research! The end is indeed in sight!

I'm hoping to have all my coding and connections done soon so that they will be out of the way, but I am stil toying with how to represent my data, as well as fighting ArcGIS a bit on the creation of my maps. I may need to go back to Angie and see if she can help me structure them in a more readable way. All in all, it's getting there and it should be decently easy to wrap it up for finals!

Web Designing

OH MY GOSH I HAVE A SITE.

I apologize for the outburst, but it is really exciting to finally have a template up and functioning with links between pages and content online! It's really pretty exciting to visually upload the data and see what the end result will look like. I finally feel like I have a handle on this and know what I'm doing.

I now have a new organized site map that corresponds with what tabs are in my research/website and am now playing with how I want to organize this. Onward and upward!
