I love the idea of a website focused session and would sit in on a workshop like this.

As a THATCamp newbie, I’m excited about the possibilities and looking forward to meeting you all on Wednesday.

I’d be interested in the Google maps topic suggested, as well as anything that you or others might know about integrating maps into WordPress. Great idea – see you Wednesday.

I’ve also learned a great deal from working with my colleagues on this metropolitan history mapping project: ontheline.trincoll.edu/maps/

I just heard about this tool the other day from a geographer who does community-based work. I am experimenting with interpreting the spatial aspects of community organizing history in urban contexts. Thanks for posting the Trinity examples.

Look forward to seeing y’all this week!

This session would definitely be useful to us!

Would you like to propose an entire session on how to create and manage a website? It’s more than we can cover in a 10-minute tutorial. I’d be interested in reading a wish list of the particular steps or skills you have in mind, and whether you’d be interested in constructing a WordPress-type site (the easiest way to start, in my mind). I’d attend it, and bet others would, too.

Here is what I would like to learn-the basics of creating and managing a website. I spend more time begging/explaining/paying bribes when it comes to updating web pages, and I have come to the conclusion that it would just be easier to learn some basics.

I think you are working on two very important projects, and I salute you for the clarity with which you write instructions for contributors to your book. I’m a huge fan of bringing local history to life as a resource for teachers, and so I am equally interested in your project on Hartford. I look forward to picking your brain a little about how to get a website I put together on Appalachian Af-Am history in front of more college and high school teachers, as well as the future of open source/Creative Commons projects in history.
