Summary

Summary
This is a personal experiment with HTML. It is a very limited list with what I find useful.
Update: Somehow I find more and more stuff useful, so this list is not that limited (and not that private) anymore. I'll improve it with time and according to my needs. I just realized, this will never be "complete" and there is no final number of chapters.
So far that's posted:
Part One: Basics
Part Two: Lines
Part Three: Footnotes and Links
Part Four: Columns and Skins
Part Five: Pictures
Part Six: Choose Your Own Adventure
Part Seven: Chapter Title
Part Eight: The Title, the Username and Links
Part Nine: Boxes (still in progress)
Part Ten: Newspaper Article -

Summary
If you’re anything like me, large projects intimidate just by not knowing where to start, and, how do I keep track of where I’m AT??? Podficcing, especially for longer works, runs to large projects with several moving parts.
So.
Here is a breakdown of how I wrangle my distractibility into turning out polished work. This guide does not deal with the technical aspects of voice work or sound editing, but rather gives a template for managing the work. It is intended for beginners, but experts are welcome to chime in with their own best practice in the comments.
