I am even more excited to finally get to work on my online
exhibition now that I have found what will probably be a very useful plug-in. I went to the plug-in page of the Omeka website
and at first was a bit overwhelmed. I
had no idea what some of them were actually meant to do (I am not a techno
savvy person), and even after looking at a larger description of some of them I
am still confused. When I saw the timeline plug-in,
however, I knew immediately that this would be helpful in our project.
We will be working with Playboy Magazine covers and, while
interesting, I know that if we were to just throw the covers online it would
not be a very classy or educational exhibition (and would not fulfill the
requirements of the assignment at all).
This is why I feel the timeline will be so useful. With it we could make a timeline of the major
events happening in the United States at the time the covers in our exhibition
were released. In this way, it may be
easier for visitors to relate the covers to a certain period in American
history.
