Morning everyone!
I've also read through the site and have a couple of things to add to Scott's massive list! Some of the corrections are kind of pedantic, and I'm not trying not to nit-pick, but they just jumped out at me.
-Under "Craigflower Connections" (which I agree should have some spaces between it and the body of the text) we should have "through a microhistorical lens" rather than "lense". I checked in the dictionary, and "lens" is the standard spelling.
-On McKenzie's page, I think it should be "as the university-educated son...." (university-educated with a hyphen) as the phrase is being used as an adjective.
-Also on McKenzie's page - in the first line of the PSAC window, you've got "1830's and 40's) - I think it should be "1830s and '40s".
-Also on McKenzie's page - I noticed that the text of the first paragraph under "The Colonial Impulse" is exactly the same as the last paragraph in the PSAC window. Was that intentional?
-McKenzie again - in Goodie's window, we should have a citation for the quote "as lovely as a Greek goddess and the belle of many a ball"
-McKenzie - in "Problems with Agriculture", "May" should be capitalized in the second sentence!
-McKenzie - Under "Entrepreneurial Spirit" in the second sentence of the last paragraph, you wrote "the shortage of labour that lead to the use....". I *believe* the past tense is "led".
-McKenzie - in the "Recreating Social Networks", there shouldn't be an apostrophe in "the McKenzie's were also popular...."
-The citation for the labour book on Bartleman's page is
BCA, Kenneth McKenzie, Family, Personal and Business Papers, A-01481, Box 16, File 2, Labour Books, July 1861-November 1864.
-On the Irvine page - underneath "A Dream Realized?", I think "five year term" should be a "five-year term". It's in the middle of the second sentence.
-Irvines - in the "Move to Rose Bank" window, I think Danda Humphreys' column title should be capitalized to "On the Street Where You Live".
That's it for now. I'll try to look over it again later this afternoon after I've done a bit of prepping for an exam, and see if anything else catches my eye.
Edited to add: Dan, the title you propsed works for me.
