Word from the Archaeologists

June 2, 2009
Apologies for the site's neglect, lately, as energies are being spent on our sister project, Throughstone. If you're a coder experienced in php & MySQL and would like to help out, don't be afraid to send us a note. It's especially helpful if you live in the Boston area, but what we really need is enthusiasm and free time.

Now that it's official, happy Pi Day, everyone!

Some major changes.
First, The site is now frames-free, which means essentially that visitors who arrive by search engine will no longer be confounded by pages that lack a header... while, on the downside, the ubiquitous header will no longer be there for us outside of the main page, oh well.
Second: We've replaced the EMERGING page with a localized wiki system. The benefits we have, for the moment, found more convincing than the negatives. This is a highly experimental move and if it doesn't work for us then we will remove it until we find a better system. and we'll be watching closely whether or not it works. Please use it freely but respectfully.

We have a new banner. Anybody who runs a website and wishes to include this banner in their links will find it in the ABOUT section. Thanks in advance.

September 27 & 28, 2008
Adding encouragement to our endeavor, and thanks to directions from author Tim Horvath (check our EMERGING listings), we've recently been able to disinter yet another fossil from the rich w3 soil. Because of some rather odd dreams we've been experiencing since then, we've come to suspect that this particular fossil possesses oneiric powers. Some further investigation seems to confirm our line of thought, owed particularly to the words method and dreaming (roughly translated) that have been appointed in curiously cooperative juxtaposition, and strangely highlighted therein. Its apparent connection to artist Andy Campbell is still being explored.
(Scroll down if necessary.)

Another fossil, which appears to conjure some remote connection with the equally remote Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, has recently been unearthed. We are currently hard at work trying to demystify its elements. It can be found some distance below.

Finally some news.
Familiar visitors might have noticed that a little bit of reorganizing has again taken place. Also, a fair number of new listings have been added particularly to the HARBORS page and the LINKS page. We hope to be updating other pages soon.
All Book Arts information has been moved to the LINKS section in order to focus the main page on literature and literary narrative specifically.
