Friday's Topics

We have two main tracks going on in class right now. The main track is the general lecture stream of the chronology of themed events. The second is the Group Project. In addition I'll be trying to help you develop both the quality and presentation of your blog posts.

After a few general instructions for using Photobucket, we'll set up the discussion for next weeks classes on the year 1960.

Town of Beatrice Alabama

Town of Beatrice Alabama



I found this personal site about the little town of Beatrice, Alabama. It claims to be about the first 100 years of the town, but it seems a few things are missing. There are two photo sections and it roughly follows the high school class of 1960. It seems as though the local yearbook was a major resource for the site. Since we're about to start "1960" this could be an interesting piece to examine.


Sample Image Post



This picture is hosted in Photobucket. I just copied the info from the Tag box on Photobucket and pasted it in the message. When the blog gets published, Windows Explorer reads the HTML tags and the flag is linked into my post. I'll go over this a bit more Friday.
