WHY NOT...!

NOV. 5 /2010    WHY NOT…!

I.  

Since you’re reading this you must have visited my new website. Thank you.
Why did I set up a new website just when websites have become passé? Especially why a simple unsophisticated site sans pretty sidebars or light-on-dark text?  Because it's an archive. Because now much of the stuff  I’ve accumulated over the years is found, sorted, labeled, organized, photographed and sits online in ‘Bibliography’ and ‘Gallery’. To get it out of my hair I had to be forced to go through this process. Now that’s done and a great relief it is.

The ‘Articles’ pages are still to come. That collage from the old days at Broadside and soon a couple of articles from it. Perhaps other pieces on feminist subjects from my activist days. 
 In time I may expand the site further, add pages with titles like ‘Album’, old black & white photos…
 I may make additions to the ‘Gallery’, may tweek it here and there. Who knows? 
 Whatever this site ends up being it’s purpose is archival. Only the past will be there.

What about this blog?  It's for the present and future. I don’t do tweets or facebook. From now on whatever I find myself wanting to write will be here.
