For 12 years or so I've been concerned with electric literature. I'd like to see work with links that does what literature does -- that props revery, that torques thought, that creates of necessity something more than the sum of its parts.

I've tried to do this a lot of ways. I've learned some things, and I like what I've done (yes, and my mother claims to), but without any feeling that I've solved the problem, altogether.

I'd like to show a few things I've seen that seem to me to relate to the problems and opportunities of electric literature: hopefully somebody can straighten me out about some things.

This is the usual getting started post, which mostly serves to test the software, and to see what this is all going to look like. The installation was super-easy, but certain kinds of theme-tinkering seem a bit more difficult. Generally speaking, I like this theme (pushbutton), particularly because of the keyboard image in the header, but the site name (Writing Machines) is much too small, and I can't find a way to increase its size. I'll keep poking around.
