1. I’m happy to have discovered some more groups to join and people to follow. Although I didn’t create a HC site in challenge 4, the focus on widgets has me thinking about porting my existing WP site into HC.
2. No specific questions.
3. I’d like to keep working on networking with other researchers. HC sends me a daily digest of activity in the…

Hi folks. First off, thank you to <span class=”handle-sign”>@</span>caitlinduffy49 for facilitating HCSummer Camp as well as to everyone else who’s ideas and work I had the chance to read and think about over the past few weeks. Secondly, and in a combined response to both Challenge #5 and #6, I’ve updated my HumCom site and written a bit about…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks playing around with the website and trying out some of the plugins and widgets that HC WordPress offers, and added some to my website. I found the Creative Commons configurator very helpful in figuring out the different levels of protection/sharing in OA works, and I might use it in the future.…[Read more]

@caitlinduffy49 Thanks! That was exactly it. Now I just need to find an image that works in the space, and how to get the headline to go across it 🙂

Hi, @ninalager.

To get a picture to go across your screen on the Radcliffe theme, you can choose to set a “featured image” for that post. The space to upload that image is on the bottom right of your post’s editing page. I think I’m thinking about the same image space as you are, but if I’m talking about something else, please let me know! Hope…[Read more]

So, I finally got round to completing this challenge, several weeks overdue… I’ve called it Materialist Media Ecology, and I’m thinking of it more or less as a place for me to assemble and share research, ideas, and projects (by others rather than myself, for the moment) that may be of use to my students and me, first and foremost, but also to…[Read more]

I didn’t realize I could create a whole separate website using the Humanities Commons, so this Summer Camp has been very useful to me. I’ve been trying to figure out a space to host Virtual Hemingway, a digital project consisting of more than 250 links to (mostly reputable) Hemingway-related material online. While it’s taken me a bit of time,…[Read more]

I’ve created a bare-bones site, which is here. I plan to use it to maunder around ideas that keep coming up for my book. Even though I think that I know exactly what I want to do with it, more ideas keep cropping up. It’s good because the work stays interesting, but bad because I really want to finish it.

@mollief Thanks for sharing! I appreciate Altmetric’s ability to alert you to locations where your work is cited that you otherwise might not have been aware of, like Wikipedia (so cool that you’re cited on Wikipedia!).

@caitlinduffy49: Excellent! That gives me yet another option to play with for this challenge.

My July project is to create a site for a project I plan to amplify in the fall. I want to crowd source this project and need a website to do so. I was very happy to find this group to help me do this. Stay tuned!

I took a course last summer on Metrics, and was grateful that we humanists don’t have to rely on such things as Journal Impact Factor or H-index. I found Altmetric very interesting, and I’ve been following a publication of mine ever since. Here’s the link to my article “The Librarian in Rowling’s Harry Potter Series.” Without Altmetric, I don’t…[Read more]
