Colors

I know that this color scheme is ugly. I'm working on it. 

Abby's Blog

I am also looking at Abby's blog http://poetic2one.blogspot.com

Nice artwork and she lined to all of ours, that is so nice! :)

Sylvia's Blog/Assignment of Looking at Someone Else's Blog

Sorry I am posting this late, Jenny.

I am looking at Sylvia's blog.  http://svadakara.wordpress.com

I like what she has done graphically with it, and it has inspired me to work on mine.

The Awful Title of This Blog

I should have come up with something more creative than, "Blog for Electronic Publishing Class"

Any suggestions?

Check out my poll!

Vote early and vote often! This poll will determine who will be our next president.

Submission to Film Fests

I submitted my two minute short, Both, to many film fests and a few galleries. Two fests rejected it so far. I believe, based on looking at their lineup, that they are not friendly to experimental works. Holding out hope for Maryland Film Fest, Hopkins Fest, and Baltimore Womens' Film Fest as well as various fests in San Francisco and Portland.

I hope Nobody Comments on My Blog this Week

It's awful. I do write alot during the week. I just forget to put it in my blog. I'll hav eto post often just to get used to this idea.

It's 8:19

I know, this is friggin' awful on my part. Four minutes later. I bet I am not the only one who has done this.

Oh Shit

It's 8:15 in Jenny's class and I realize that I have not posted three entries on this blog. Sorry Jenny.

Ironically, I have been doing lots of writing this week. I could have just copied and pasted on here.

Three Sites With Excellent Narrative Qualities

Project Gutenberg

Many classic books republished on-line (Dante, Twain, the Bronte Sisters) among others. The more accessible these texts are to the public, the better. However, the site could use some jazzing up as it is quite bland. Some pictures would be nice. 

As bland as it now is, it is livelier than it was in the late 90s.

Here is Gutenberg's copy of one of Shakespeare's plays. Typed pages, could use some graphics, but I am unsure what should be used. 


(the on-line books page: UPENN)

Nice writing: "Master Yang was lured to South Mountain with the help of a male cousin and left in a lonely but beautiful place. Here Cloudlet appeared in the guise of a fairy and enticed him into the pavilion. So skilful was Cloudlet's wooing that Yang 'loved her from the depths of his heart and his love was reciprocated.' A most intricate practical joke was played on Yang for many weeks."

Also bland. Long lines across the web pages. Lines should be shorter maybe with some large pictures on the side. 




Perhaps because this is a childrens' book that this site is a bit better than the two above. There are pictures and teh lines are short. However, I would not have center the text and pictures. Maybe make it like stairs.
