much better

alright, I am much more pleased with the layout scheme now. It's been awhile since I've used dreamweaver and there are a few issues with links not staying the size I want them. THey look right in dreamweaver but in IE they change. Its frustrating me, but I'm not trying to make it a huge deal until the actual text is finished. Dreamweaver is making me remember why I prefer to write my own code. But there are just too many pages for this project. Ultimately, I'd make as many errors outside of dreamweaver as I am within it.

I've completed several more pages this morning though and have the two largest areas left to tackle: The West Virginia Business Hall of Fame and the Correspondence sections. These two areas encompassed the fullest portion of my time in my job. I have more material to show in these sections than in any of the others. I tried to pick and choose certain letters to exhibit, I now I feel I still have too many and will need to further narrow them down.

I can't upload the changes until I get home this evening (I'm in the lab now). When I get everything up on the web, I'll probably ask for more input! Suffice to say, I think it looks much more appealing than it did over the weekend.

I just took a more thorough look through your portfolio-in-progress and wanted to say that the type of analysis that you're providing is excellent and that I think you've devised a good strategy for linking to and analyzing the various documents (a brief section heading naming and linking to the document followed by your analysis). Great work thus far!

While I obviously haven't done nearly the volume of work in one semester that you did in two years, I feel that I'm having the same issue narrowing things down. I did much of the same work copyediting articles, so therefore my issue is more of how to choose one over the other. I suppose I could just pick, but that seems a little un-academic or something.
