toady I had a small window open so even though I'm meant to be finishing another project right now, I decided to create the pages.
Scalar is quite easy. There is a user guide as well as online tutorials and webinars, but really its a question of click "new" and filling in a form, or in my case cutting and pasting into a form.
In about 20 minutes I had up 17 pages. I quickly searched the user guide to create the main menu, and voila, a skeletal book.
I then decided to play with the tags and paths as the nonlineraity of Scalar is what attracted me the most.
I started with this page
I began tagging, which is quite easy as a search interface will pull all pages with a specific term on it. I began with "ghost"
and voila!
What attracted me to scalar is precisely the ability of people to read a nonhierarchical narrative if they wanted to. I have struggled, extensively, with writing in, through, and around the silences especially as they relate to women of color/lesbians/outside academia/activists/artists or any combination thereof!
If you read, clicking through tags, please leave comment or tweet how it works for you!
and only after writing all of the above did I realize I probably should have started with the epigraph
