I have finally got this blog working:
I have deleted the blog and reinstalled it. There was something wrong with the notepad theme instillation because multiple function on that page were not working. I will try to reinstall the notepad theme again next week.
I do not have Internet service. Research for The Queen of Wonderland is being done almost entirely through textbooks, video media and personal accounts of people who have experienced self-harming compulsions. Really, there is almost nothing on the Internet that is relevant to the research of this book because it is a unique project. This may seem odd, but I spend days trying to find anything that is relevant to my work and have come up with almost nothing, just a lot of the same old stuff repeated over and over on a million different websites. There is a lot of personal accounts, but I prefer to use printed matter for reference material rather than stuff from the Internet because these accounts can easily disappear after a while when web pages are deleted.
I am presently working on the last chapter of the book, and the index. I am planning on only including a basic index in the book because the index that I am compiling for The Queen of Wonderland is too complex, meaning that it would require too many pages to include in the book. Therefore I will provide the complete index to the book either as a download from my web site or on a CD with the book. That way anyone can find anything contained within the book quickly and easily. The index file can be put in a word processing programme and searched there or placed in an information management programme, i.e., some kind of database like AskSam.com or One Note. I use the AskSam programme as I have been using this programme since the old DOS days and love the Windows version of this programme for research work.
As far as research work goes, I am planning on having a summary of each reference in the back of the book. However, that may turn out to be too big for the book, i.e., too many pages thus more expense for producing the book. Also, big books get too difficult to handle for reading. So I may decide to simply place the references and supply the summaries on the same CD with the complete index. I have 65 reference alone for my analysis of the Nightmares episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, season one.
I am leaving this link here to my The Art of Tragedy blog over at Blogger as I will be posting information on that site that is aimed at individuals who have some understanding of Jungian Psychology. The information posted on The Queen of Wonderland will be mostly about a straightforward analysis of Gothic themes. Jungian Psychology for a topic like Gothic themes and self-harm can get too complicated for most people to put up with it.
