In early June the blog migrated to Kattare with new URL, movingimagesincontext.org, and new version of WordPress that has a problem in the Media Library function. We’re working on it today.
In the meantime the Office of Digital Humanities library asked for a logo. The project hadn’t had its own logo and there’s no budget for that kind of thing (Northeast Historic Film’s logo was designed in the 1980s). Here is original graphic called into duty.
We have a draft interface for the home page going to our design consultant, Robert Denton, Senior Media and Design Consultant at Bowdoin College.
Next week we will post the “before” html interface with all our content: text, images, and links in basic layout (header, footer, media, text blocks). Later we’ll post the outcome of a skilled designer’s work. Holiday long weekend activities here include checking out Kuler for color ideas http://kuler.adobe.com/ 
(favoring work of b_wiebe: la nappe, corduroy road, renu). Up to Robert as to how to deploy color, which affects how users feel about a page when they arrive, how they move through it, and how it stays with them afterwards.
In other preparations for site launch, selection of home page’s html meta keywords and description, things most users don’t see.
