To every thing there is a season… and while I still do love the theme I picked out when I originally moved my website to WordPress, even I have to admit that it’s showing its age a little bit. And I don’t just mean in terms of aesthetics. While the theme amazingly has stayed functional through dozens of major WordPress updates, it hasn’t been updated in <cough, cough> years and there were no guarantees it was still secure.
So, without further ado, I present to you my new, updated website appearance.
While I’m doing an announcement blog post, I figure this is also a good time/place to mention that numerous publications that have been clogged up in the pandemic publishing pipeline have finally started to appear in print:
- December saw my final publication on the Six Degrees of Francis Bacon project, on the Named Entity Recognition process we used to create our node list, published in the NTMRS studies series.
- This spring also saw the publication of the Project Ending team’s special issue on digital sustainability in DHQ, including my article on funding for digital sustainability
- In July, my co-authored publication on disability in DH will appear in Debates in the Digital Humanities 2023 (I won’t tell you what the year in that title was the CFP went out!)
- In August, you can look forward to an article on how I use Wikipedia in the classroom, in another NTMRS studies series volume (which I used in, e.g. my recent course on Tudor & Stuart history)
And last, but never least, By the Numbers, my long-awaited monograph on numeracy and quantitative transformations in early modern England is coming out from Oxford University Press at the end of the year. ETA: It officially comes out January 4, 2024 with pre-orders shipping mid-December 2023, so I hope to be showing off physical copies at AHA 2024 in San Francisco.
So it’s time to say, so long 2010s, old website, and the pre-COVID world. Here’s to the Roaring (20)20s and may things continue to look up from here.
