I admit it: the chords part of dylanchords may be in a decent state (apart from the use of frames, which is sooo<\/em> last century), but the articles are a mess. There’s the collected pdf volume, the selected links on the Self-ordained Professors page, the blog posts here, and the introductions to some of the albums.<\/p>\n

I’ve now decided to do something about it. Here’s the state of affairs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Things Twice — the book<\/a>. This will always be the definitive version. If\/when I do revisions to articles, this is where they are made. The layout is more pleasant than in any of the other formats. It’s a pdf file, currently c. 2 Mb.<\/li>\n
  2. Self-ordained professors<\/a>. This used to be where new stuff appeared, but that is no longer the case. Static html is not the most versatile format to work with, and when I moved on to greener pastures<\/a>, the versions that were left here, became more and more obsolete. I therefore opted for the radical approach: the articles on the Self-ordained Professors page are now converted versions of whatever is found in the pdf version. This makes them an inferior option, for several reasons: some of the layout is lost, the images are of a horrible quality, and the way the footnotes appear is a bit cumbersome (and I care a great deal about my footnotes!). All in all, this should only be an option if you don’t fancy a 2 Mb download.<\/li>\n
  3. Finally, there’s Things twice — the blog<\/a> — this place right here. This is the place for experiments, drafts, work-in-progress. In other words, it will never be the final version of anything, but it’s where you have a chance to comment. There has been a time when there was more activity here than now, but let me also take this opportunity to say that some of the articles could not have been written without — and others have become immensely better thanks to — the feedback I have gotten from you at the blog.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
