I think I’m finished

Well, after much trial and error, coding and recoding, I think my final web project is finished. It looks great in Firefox, in Safari it looks OK, tho there’s a couple wonky places that I can’t seem to fix. In IE it’s actually not too bad either, tho I’ve not yet checked it at work where I have IE 7.

I skooched the footnotes right just a bit, but I really don’t like all the empty space on the left-hand side of the pages, so I’m not going to move them in any further. And the images could be better, but given what I was working from, they’re pretty good. I really wish I could have been able to scan from the original photographs, but even if they still exist, there simply wasn’t time. I’m just glad I had some version of them to work with at all.

<<heavy sigh>>

So, seventeen pages of content with forty-five images. That’s what my masters’ thesis has been reduced to. I hope it’s interesting to anyone who might stumble on it someday. I’ll leave it up at least through the year…maybe longer. I thought about putting contact info up, too, but didn’t really want to encourage a Viagra-selling bot email inundation. If someone really wants to find me for questions, comments, criticisms (all of which I’m up for), there are a few ways they can do that and they’ll figure it out.

I’ve been really impressed with the projects my fellow graduate students have created. I know that I learned a lot and I’m a little proud of myself now. I think I’ll only get better and someday I may look back at this first web project and say “Yikes!” (kind of like I do when I come across something I wrote about fifteen years ago).  It’s been fun…stressful sometimes, but really fun. Certainly “better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick,” as my grandfather used to say. Great man, my grandfather.
