How it’s Going<\/h3>\n

For my project, I have been able to find a lot more research than I anticipated. That being said I am also running into plenty of difficulties. The databases I have used like ProQuest that perfectly fit what I need are almost always out of date, so I have to use it for historical aspects. I have been using a good amount of reliable internet sources like human rights campaign, glaad, gallup poll, and isidewith. \"\"I ran into multiple dead ends with researching databases until the discovery of Jstor text analyzer and Ramapo’s potter library online book search. I found one book that gives a vast history of LGBTQ+ evens all over the world involving all sorts of people. I finally found information about the Vietnam war and LGBTQ+ in the military during that time. On Jstor, I found information about DADT and actual accounts of how that affects non-LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ+ members. I also found information about gay church movements. My next step is talking about the Lavender scare and that was made extremely easy by a Jstor article I found. I am having trouble remembering what source said what though due to the massive amount of information I need that is spread out through many books and articles.<\/p>\n

Sticking to Schedule<\/h3>\n

I am trying to stick to my schedule, but actually putting the information into my website it takes a longer time than I anticipated.\"\" I have been trying to trim down my website to make it easier, but it is difficult to choose what to exclude. For example, I cut down the history two to tabs, removed the people tab, removed the tab about military opinions, and so on. Now I have limited the research I have done on that and have now incorporated it into another tab. I have been able to finish the about me tab, the general information tab, half of the history tab, and two-thirds of the public opinion tab. I have to finish the solutions tab, the change and why tab, and the personal accounts tab. I hope to finish the public opinion and history tab this week and move on to the next tab, personal accounts. I hope each tab will take me a week to do.<\/p>\n

Technology is NOT my Friend<\/h3>\n

Some technological challenges I have faced are me at a computer. I am awful with technology and have been struggling to navigate everything. I have finally gotten used to WordPress and do not mind using it. \"\"Tikitok looks nice but was difficult to use. I also figured out that you cannot embed the timeline on a website without paying, which is awful. I have also tried to include infographics but cannot seem to figure out how to use canva and other such online resources. My go-to is adding pictures and citing them or looking for an image labeled for reuse.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/h3>\n

Overall the project is going well. It is going to be hard work, but I am hoping that in the end, it will all work out. I am glad I chose the topic I did because I am learning about something I am passionate about. I am also learning valuable skills that will help me as a history major, such as what and where to research, how to create a website about a historical topic and so on.\"\" <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
