Reflection on the Research Process for the First Post

• I did not read the Assignment instructions carefully enough and, although I started early, I did not have sufficient research done or organised for this post.

• I searched the SLV databases for suitable images but could not find any.

• By focusing on early printing, i.e.Gutenberg, I was able to easily to identify 6 books that looked to have good information, but realised later that the depth of information they contained was probably not needed.

• I had earlier found an image of an early printing press but wasn't able to publish it as part of the initial post. I will keep trying. I might need to put the image into Picasa first.

• I had an enormous amount of trouble trying to save my first post. I kept getting a message saying that there were 'form' errors. Information from Blogger Help pointed to the problem being the use of MS Word because of the embedded formatting. The advice was to cut/paste into 'Notepad' and then cut/paste from there into Blogger. This still created problems with HTML formatting. The answer was to ignore the option to save a draft and just to publish - which I did.
