Timeline

So after class I went and played around with timeline to see if it would be useful for my final project. It was super complicated to figure out that I had to use timelines demo spreadsheet to fill in my information. When I tried to recreate my own spreadsheet it didn’t work. The spreadsheet itself was straightforward but limited as to what I can put on it.

I was able to organize information on it well, but like Luisiana said in class, links to news pages don’t show the article you want, but the main page of the news site. If you use the permalink, once you click on the picture it will send you to the article you want.

The site is good for showing the passage of time in a very interactive way. but it does little else. It is very strict in regards to inout methods and limits what you can actually do on the site. But it sure as hell beats a static picture.
