I'm pretty ill today, so face to face class is cancelled. Instead, get started on the StyleInMicroMessages project. I'll try to post the complete project by Wednesday, but a draft to get started with will be up by late afternoon Tuesday.Deadline - Fri 30 Oct Set up a Storify account. Have a page created and 20 artifacts selected. Add a link to your Storify page to your wiki name page so we can all get to your work. Start making notes and fashioning the micro-analyses of your selection. On Friday, I will look in and may leave you side notes so you can work on the micro-analyses further for Tuesday.
Storify will automatically save your work periodicallY, but you will need to click Publish to make updates visible to the rest of us.
Deadline - class time, 3 Nov First pass at stylistics micro-analyses ready to look at and discuss.
I'm also still reviewing Arguments in Two Websites projects. I hope to finish them by the end of the day Wednesday.

- The Overwrite warning. If you save a page, then use the back button rather than double-clicking to get back to editing, you might get an Overwrite warning in red. That only means the wiki is confused. Select all the text you're editing, copy it, then Cancel the save. After you save, see if the version is complete. It usually is. But if not, double-click to edit the page, select everything, then paste the version you have on the clipboard into the wiki and save.
- Use RecentComments at the top of the page to check on FAQs.
