archiving the thesis

I've gotten back to archiving my MFA thesis, Fallow, but have yet to finish. 71 posts down. 139 posts to go. This is a slow process indeed.

Oi, my sympathies. Then too there's the challenge of getting them to display in the right order, I imagine. Especially if you want them to read correctly even before you've finished posting them all...

Yeah, the whole process is very labor intensive... but I have a system where I backdate drafts and then plug in images as I alter them.

The piece is read from the front page of the blog to the earlier posts... unlike the conventional blog... one of my many misuses of the medium. Maybe I should make that clear. Hmm, people may be confused by that. Thanks for pointing it out.

It's interesting because in the gallery the layout is similar in that viewers can pick up at any point and can read from either direction or even start in the middle... but most did prefer to read from the top (and actually wanted to know where the top was!).
