I had to leave a comment on Jenny’s blog after receiving a comment from her and reading her latest posting. I got to thinking about why we’re all doing this…or, rather, why the real historians in the class are doing this. And I think one main reason is that presentation matters. Contrary to what I know some of you think (Ken, I’m largely referring to you and the discussion we had, which I think trailed over into class and you talked about in your blog entry “Grey Suits and Greening”), unless your opinions have changed as they may well have, presentation matters. Now, I know you have good reasons for believing that image isn’t everything, and you’re right, but that’s taking it too far —image isn’t everything and presentation matters. You don’t have to have the world’s most beautifully designed website to have an impact on your audience, but looking like you care can go a long way. Sorry, don’t mean to beat a dead horse…but I’m convinced there’s a reason why we all want to do well with this type assignment, and I don’t think it’s just for a good grade.
