Friday!
On the one hand, I love weekends just as much as everyone else does; on the other, I dislike leaving things half-done for three days. That’s the nature of the work, though; it’s incremental to the nth degree, and there are hardly ever any good stopping-places.
I spent much of the day formatting web pages for the different cemeteries in Barrington. There are not many more than 1000 names in the index, and I’m perhaps halfway through integrating the Barrington index with the humungous general index, which now has about 36,000 names total. The separate pages for each cemetery are basically done, except for scanning the little maps that show where each one is, inserting them and then checking all the links. Once this is done and the general pages that guide the visitor through each town into each cemetery are finished, and the index integrated, and the PDFs made so people don’t have to download the entire general index to find a name, then I can upload. Next week, if the creek don’t rise.
