And we're blogging again! I guess we were thinking alike again today, Dan-o...I just came by the blog as I was about to start working seriously on our intro page text in terms of introducing our project so people understand where we're coming from - this would also include a 'right-window link' to some stuff on microhistory (which I will probably ask for some input from you guys on as well). I'm also of course going to work on refining my Irvine and Verney pages. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

I agree with all the comments you made in response to John's ideas. Don't have much to add to that, so from my perspective, I think you should go ahead with everything you mentioned. I'll make sure to include some obvious text to link to the image map as I work on the intro text. One thing that just occurred to me - if you don't want to go to the trouble of editing the image nav page, you could instead just change the bottom links from nicknames to the actual names - probably easier to change those than redoing your image nav! We will then still have the nicknames/roles at the top of the actual page about the character.
