Commentpress
¶ 1 CommentPress is an open source theme and plugin for the WordPress blogging engine that allows readers to comment paragraph-by-paragraph, line-by-line or block-by-block in the margins of a text. New in CommentPress 3.8: select some text and comment specifically on that selection. Annotate, gloss, workshop, debate: with CommentPress you can do all of these things on a finer-grained level, turning a document into a conversation. ¶ 2 CommentPress Version 3.8.x (known as CommentPress Core) is now available for download at the WordPress Plugin Directory, and is compatible with the latest WordPress standalone and multisite versions. ¶ 3 The name of the plugin has been changed from CommentPress to CommentPress Core for two reasons: (a) because it serves as the basis for extending it for your purposes and (b) to safeguard historical installations, which could break if they upgrade. ¶ 6 CommentPress was originally developed by Eddie Tejeda at the Institute for the Future of the Book.

Without Gods Retreat to My Study After a year of mostly daily blogging on this site, I am cutting back. As most of you know, I am writing a book on the history of disbelief for Carroll and Graf. The blog -- produced while working on the book -- was an experiment conceived by the Institute for the Future of the Book. I may continue to post sporatically here, but now it seems time to retreat to my study to digest what I've learned, polish my thoughts and compose the rest of the narrative. If you would like to be notified of any major activity on this site and of the status of the book, please leave your email below. posted by Mitchell Stephens on 12.19.2006 at 7:14 PM A Year of Progress Something odd and encouraging appears to have occurred in the year I have been doing this blog: The revival of religious orthodoxy, which seemed so powerful a year ago, now, in the United States at least, seems to have eased. Such evidence is, of course, spotty and unscientific. Continuities vs. The C? The Sweeping vs. 1.

list.it The Platform Book <div style="border: solid red 1px"><b>Note:</b> you need to enable JavaScript to use the advanced features of this site.</div> Joseph J. Esposito espositoj@gmail.com May 2, 2006 [This is a rough first draft of a presentation for the STM conference in Budapest in May 2006. Several years ago I wrote an essay entitled “The Processed Book” in which I attempted to define various aspects of the book in the digital era. A Platform Book is distinct from a Portal Book, which is a translucent text, both providing content of its own and passing a user through it to other, third-party content. One other point about categories before moving on. What I would like to do here is spend some time developing the idea of the Platform Book. There is another reason as well to be thinking about the Platform Book, and this has to do with my kinship to book publishers, who are now struggling to find growth. Digitization. The Web store. But, someone will insist on insisting, is it any good?
