Suggestions
Hi again fellow pod member,
Your page is developing really nicely!
Just some minor points and suggestions: I see that you plan on adding hyperlinks later, and that Morgan has already suggested that these should include people, places and events, but thought I would just make a couple of suggestions of some to include: pictographs, cuneiform, phonograms, clay tablets, Linear B, Delphic oracle.
I agree with Maggie that block quotes would help highlight the long quotations that you have in the "Classical Athens" section.
Finally, in the "Mesopotamia" section, the second sentence might be a little bit confusing since you used similar wording for both "backed" and "baked": "once it was backed, it was very durable once it had been baked". Perhaps you could say: "once it had been backed then baked..."?
Hi Hannah,
Thanks for catching that typo. I have not thoroughly edited my page yet and there was more than the typo wrong with that sentence. Thanks for the link suggestions and I was originally thinking of doing block quotes but was not sure how at the time. I will do some more research to figure out how to do that.
Thanks, Sarah
I am not absolutely sure how to do block quotations either but I think it can be done using colons, so for each line of your quote you would place a colon then indent as much as you want using your space bar (tab bar doesn't work).
- First line of quotation
- Second line of quotation
What I did:
: (insert spaces) First line
: (insert spaces) Second line
You might find an easier way of doing it!

I used colons for my block quotes and found it straightforward (and aesthetically to my liking).
Another route is the one shown in this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_quotation Take a look at the code if you like the idea of block quotes in boxes like this.
