<insert link>  Oooh! It worked! And, look, a piece of cheese!  Let’s do that again.

<font-family: Merriweather;> Hey!  Look at that! Another piece of cheese!

Fortunately, Dreamweaver cheese is virtual; otherwise I’d end up in the ER with clogged arteries. Instead, I’ve got a set of type and an improvement over my first stab at CSS.  My type assignment is here.  I used the footnoting code that Dr. Petrik recommended.  It does strange things to my type that leading adjustments don’t fully satisfy; perhaps I’ll get some answers at the next class.

Slate has an article about a fantastic digital history site: CSI Dixie.  It contains 1,582 digitized coroner’s reports from six counties in 19th-century South Carolina. They haven’t merely been transcribed: you can search by type of death, name, county, and other variables.  I’m not an expert, but it looks like R is in use behind the scenes. When I think about building my prosopography, this is the sort of result I have in mind.

The site design is functional, and its simplicity makes it beautiful and engaging.

I commented this week on Kater’s blog.

That’s it.  Backing to pulling levers in hopes of some more cheese.
