Poetry X Development Log

First Members-Only Articles

16 September 2003

Edited the first of many new articles that will be available only to registered Poetry X members:

  • "Changing Keys" by Jared Carter
  • "Hamlet and His Problems" by T. S. Eliot, and
  • "Tradition and the Individual Talent" by T. S. Eliot
Thank you to Jared Carter for being the first to turn in an essay for the new site.

This particular article didn't really fit into any of the currently existing categories, so I had to make a new one (no big deal) to encompass essays, memoirs, editorials, humour pieces, etc.

European newspapers usually have a section for such content, called "Feuilleton" (foy-yeh tohh). It's obscure here in the U.S. but it seemed appropriate.

I think I may head-off the onslaught of future e-mail by including an explanation in the FAQ (I've already given up on people actually reading this log in toto).

Some may question the wisdom of including public domain works by T. S. Eliot as "members-only" content - but then those people never spent three and a half hours editing and proofreading such essays for the web.

There's of course the possibility as new MO (members-only) content is added to release some of the previously MO content to the free internet public. We'll have to see how it goes.
