The stone observatory on the Bloody lane is now finished and ready for visitors. The view from this point alone is worth a visit to the famous Bloody lane as you can take in the entire right to the left nearly four miles. There will be, when all planted, nearly four hundred markers, giving one a good idea of the entire battle field with the advantage of the good roads. Every body ought to visit it and make a study of this great battle.
Troubleshooting Success!

I have been going crazy since I put up this site because some of the more advanced features have not been behaving themselves. The good news was that most of the features were on the admin side, so users would not know something was awry. Nonetheless, it was frustration to have things not work at the launch of a site. Those are the kins of problems that just get worse.
The main issue was that the AJAX menus were not working. I spoke to my hosting guys and they said that any Javascript issues would be client-side. So I spent some time making sure Javascript was working in my browsers. Finally I checked my logs and saw that a file named misc/cookie.js was not loading. Ahha! Anyway, the file was there, Drupal was juts not seeing it. So I went up on the boards and searched around for a solution. Someone recommended that I set Drupal to aggregate all of the Javascript files. Then the system would not be looking for the offending file. I did that and Viola! Everything is working fine. Life is good! What a great way to start the New Year!

Hello. I'm Stephen Recker and welcome to my blog. In it I will be discussing the different projects I am working on related to the American Civil War with a focus on photography related to the battle of Antietam. I am particularly interested in how the battlefield has been interpreted throughout the years. I will be discussing how it was done then and how new technologies can be brought to bear to bring life to those old materials as well as new ones. See the 99 Places Every Antietam Battlefield Guide Should Know.
