It’s not just our house that is undergoing a makeover.  My work on the Indian River by Air website has inspired me to revisit my own, so if you head on over to the main MissElaineous landing page, you’ll see a few small tweaks as I work towards making it easier to find things. I have also started to turn my attention to future projects I’d love to work on:

• Navigating the Seven Cs of Heritage
  Interpretation: My PhD dissertation dealt with using location-based media to provide interpretation at archaeology and heritage sites, and the “Seven Cs” were a framework I developed for thinking about how to use this technology. While time has moved on, I feel the framework is still sound and would love to turn my 96,000 word dissertation into a bite-size eBook. This is something that’s been on the back of mind for a while and, like all of my projects, it’s just a matter of figuring out where to find the time to make it happen!
• Building Blocks: Over the past several years, I have started and run several websites–in addition to Indian River by Air, there’s Rubbish Walks, Off the Ground, and now MissElaineous.  I would like to take what I’ve learned from this experience–the social media learning curve, MailChimp publishing, overall website development–and use it to help others who may be in the same boat of wanting to begin a side project or two but not know how or where to begin. What form this will take, whether an eBook, YouTube tutorial, 1-to-1 consultancy, or all of the above, is still to be determined, but giving people the building blocks necessary to construct their own business, community organisation, or blog is near to my heart.
• And of course writing!  Whether fiction or non-fiction, I enjoy constructing a narrative and telling what is hopefully an engaging story. Writing here and in the Rubbish Walks blog have helped exercise a different part of my brain and I am itching to do more.

Right now these all remain simmering away on the back burner, but do keep an eye out – the little tweaks I’ve been making here and there may soon add up to some major changes.
