Change of Scope

OK so I just read a post from our instructor and I am seeing now that I've been approaching this project in a very non-librarian sort of way, in that I imagined opening it up eventually to users, provided they first authenticate. But he answered a question about terms with a reference to those "doing the catalog", which assumes there is one unified group with one goal and one catalog.

With that in mind...I still like this project. But those entering resources will have to be part of a smaller and more involved group than originally envisioned. Which is OK, but it really reigns in the scope of this project.

Puppet Library is a go!

I am very happy with the results of my Puppet Library so far. I have been designed websites for a long time and this is by far the best functionality I've ever been able to provide for users.

In the ideal world would I use Drupal for this site? Yes probably...but I would know how to use it better. Which I will. Soon.

This week I am adding only selected resources from the Awaji shima puppet theater. Next time I will deal with Suchart Subsin of Thailand, and try to add all my pics of his workshop in one node, with a big long description.

One thing that's annoying me is the way it all looks once entered. I imagine changing themes would help a little but it all looks very metadata-y, which is not user friendly. I'm hoping to learn to make some fields bold, place them on separate lines, and make the pics appear in thumbs, in the future.
