Welcome to my draft, pod people!

Hi Chelsea,

I like your drafy draft and I feel it is a great start. In response to your first comment: citations are [1]. At the very bottom of your page include

  1. citation goes here

. I find the characteristics of performing arts archivists to be interesting but I would be worried about offering a possible stereotype. You could provide an introduction to the idea and note that other academics have noticed these characteristics. I spoke with Greg after our MOA visit to clarify the headings and content he was looking for on our wiki's. From my understanding, we can incorporate as many headings and subheadings that we feel are appropriate to the topic. For each one, we can include content from very brief (introducing the topic and hopefully a future student will contribute more) or we can include a significant portion. For example, the Archives of Ontario include all the archives within Ontario. I won't be able to cover all of the topics but I will introduce as many as I can and elaborate on the ones I am interested in. I hope this helps! As for the media portion, who doesn't love photographs? I am also curious to know whether or not we can include youtube links or links to other pages? Perhaps an addition resources page?

Sorry Chelsea, the citation code didn't show up for you to see. The citation is: <.ref.> (minus the two . of course, I am hoping this won't show up like above) and close with <./ref.> (minus the two .). At the end of your page you include <.references/.> (minus the two .). I hope this works!

Hi, Lisa!

Your and Katie's comments have been very helpful! I did figure out the citations, eventually. It was...tedious. I have never appreciated Zotero more than when I wasn't able to use it!

Thanks so much for passing along your conversation with Greg to me, too. That is all good information to have and will help me think about these pages in a different way.

I would love to embed some video and images! I played around with it, and unfortunately, it looks like the video widgets don't a lot of functionality, You just can't do as much in the way of formatting as you can with images. Here is the link to the video widget help page (http://wiki.ubc.ca/Help:Adding_Media/Video) and here is the link to the images and pictures help page (http://wiki.ubc.ca/Help:Adding_Media/Images).
