Today, I also have downloaded and installed Dreamweaver for the 30 day free trial on my PC. I used the handout from last week's class to set it up so that I can my site from home.
For my resources page, I am considering adding links to Worldcat or Google Books for the different print texts that I list. Worldcat records would be a good idea since it would allow visitors to find out what library has the materials and it automatically sets up to view the places closest to the IP address of the computer. I could also links to materials in Google Books if there are digitized copies of books I mention.
I considered linking the titles of the books and films to The Internet Movie Database or Amazon.com, but worried that might create too many links on my site and make it a little too busy. Also, these are outside commercial entities, and I do not want to seem like I am encouraging either enterprise.
I considered adding another page to my site, about films and books based on Classicists, like The Human Stain (book and film), The Lake of Dead Languages (book) and The Secret History (book). After careful consideration I decided that having 4 pages was enough to cover the material I was interested in and that a page about Classicists might seem out of place. Also finding source material would be considerably more difficult since they are not written about by reliable scholarly sources.
I have kept working on the text portion of the site and have completed 2 other titles, The Persian Boy and The Penelopiad. I plan to continue working on them doing a few over the next week so that I can focus more on the technical end of this project.
