An interesting article in the current issue of Historically SpeakingBulletin of the Historical Society (http:/www.bu.edu/historic) by Professor Marshall Poe entitled “Fighting Bad with Good, or, Why Historians must get on the Web Now.” Title speaks for itself. I cannot find a link for the article because it appears in the current edition of the paper [...]

Thanks and Nicely Done!
Posted in Uncategorized on April 7, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Just a quick note first and foremost to say thanks to everyone for their comments last night on my website design. There was no doubt that last night’s presentation could have been considered a tad intimidating given the talent that resides in the group and I am normally only intimidated when the good English beer [...]
Photoshopped Out
Posted in Uncategorized on March 31, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Just a quick blog with a comment and what I thought was a useful link relating to Photoshop. To say that I was somewhat overwhelmed in last night’s class with the steady stream of information about Photshop would be an understatement. I know that many of you are far more conversant and used to working [...]
Photoshop Readings for this week
Posted in Uncategorized on March 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Whenever I read about or try to use Photoshop I cannot but help think of the pictures of the old Soviet leadership on top of Lenin’s tomb and how at different stages different people would disappear from photographs depending on the political moods in Moscow.
The four-part series by Cameron Moll was interesting to read through and [...]
Thoughts on Weekly Readings

All these articles were interesting for different reasons. First and foremost, as you read through each you begin to either gain a greater appreciation or have a greater appreciation reinforced as to the finer points of building a successful website. Guevin’s Visual Architecture demonstrates to me at least the old saying that a picture is [...]
Catching Back Up and Baby Steps
Posted in Uncategorized on March 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Once again I have been confronted with what appears to be the classic problem for someone like me when it comes to keeping up the pace on a course such as Clio-Wired. Take me away from the structure of having classes and I find that doing all those things that I should do on a [...]

For those of us just coming to the world of HTML I have two useful help suggestions. Both were given to me by one of my IT guys at work who tells me that he was new to HTML many years back and now teaches HTML at his community college. First is a link http://www.htmlgoodies.comThis [...]
And yet more ‘things’ through Google

I thought this was interesting. Holly, there are no end of photos of Queen Victoria.

More than ten million images from the Life photo archive will be available on Google. According to Time Inc. 97% of the collection never have been seen by the public and they include images from some of Life’s army of famed [...]
Observations from a Friday night’s voting.
Posted in Uncategorized on November 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I thought long and hard before committing these observations and thoughts down on this blog page. I reasoned that what I am to ‘blog-on’ does not necessarily fit with anything that we are doing on our coursework per se, but I was sufficiently ‘moved’ on events I observed this past Friday night that I decided [...]
And while we are on the subject…

Also came across this new book entitled Blown to Bits that some of you may already be familiar with, if so I would be interested in your comments. Likewise Prof. Cohen I would be very interested in your thoughts. Is it a little bit of hyperbole on the part of the authors or are they [...]
