HYPERTEXT and TINDERBOX: Learning More
Well I’ve finally gotten the setting up of the stories in Tinderbox and their export here down to a science; the last story went through without a hitch. I even managed to put in the return link to the flash fiction page without having to do it on the server.
So the technical, the really technical portion of the project is somewhat under control. The story part is neat because I’m just letting stuff roll out of my mind. The problem I’m still having is the hypertext form itself. Even with as little as under ten lexias I’ve not gotten the knack of returns for emphasis, and maneuvering the reader through every lexia. I just reread the last story and got spit back at the home page without reading the majority of the work. This would be fine if the story was complete and satisfying with just those portions read, but it definitely indicates a lack of control as an author if it doesn’t.
Since I’m caught up, I might just spend some time tonight retesting and relinking.
