I have a website!

Ye Jacobites By Name

(which title I have already discovered was a bad idea, because I get the song stuck in my head whenever I look at it. But I think it suits!)

I have been having a lot of fun putting this together, working out my aesthetic taste in CSS and organising everything. Currently the contents include all my fic for FotH, Kidnapped and other related canons (organised under the correct titles! freed from the tyranny of wrangling policy!); various bits of meta and some things about the books, including the timeline; and some other Jacobite stuff, including a historical summary written by luzula.

Of particular interest amongst things that haven't already been posted here: a collection of reviews of The Flight of the Heron's early editions, compiled while I was doing research for the Wikipedia article; and a catalogue of all the old Jacobite novels currently within my ken.

There is of course way more I'd like to add! I hope the website will provide a good structure to motivate me to keep working on meta and background research, and just putting it together has already generated several ideas. Also I want to add more of the biographical material I've dug up on D. K. Broster, but that currently exists in the form of some highly disorganised notes that'll take a while to sort out into anything coherent.

Neocities has been really pretty easy to get set up on; the website is just there when you make your account, there's a very nice comprehensible HTML editor and most things have been intuitive to figure out. It tells me the site has had 331 views since I first created it on Wednesday, which strikes me as slightly doubtful since this is the first I've said to anyone about it—perhaps, unlike AO3, it counts logged-in views by me, since there certainly have been a lot of those. The only real snag I've hit so far is that photos hosted on Dreamwidth are not showing up properly. This is clearly a problem with Neocities or how the images are formatted there, because the same photos show up perfectly when I load the page as an HTML file on my computer, and it's clearly a problem with these images in particular and not with Neocities, because photos hosted on Wikimedia Commons and formatted in exactly the same way are showing up fine, so I'm slightly stumped. Hopefully I manage to figure it out soon. ETA: Thanks to everyone who commented about Dreamwidth's onsite-only image display! Touch wood, the Geography article is now sorted out. Besides that there are various bits of messiness and the site as a whole is still very much under construction—I want to add a proper menu and improve navigability, and perhaps decorate a bit more.

It'll be a good ongoing project!

Thanks very much to luzula and hyarrowen, some of whose writing and photos appear on the site :)
