Megaliths at Blogger will work together with Megalithic World at WordPress

Megaliths is hosted at Blogger, which converts uploaded graphic files to .jpgs and resizes them automatically, which can reduce quality.

We thus duplicate some postings at Megalithic World, hosted by WordPress.

Megaliths at Blogger Supports Megaliths.net and Megalithic World

Megaliths at Blogger and Megalithic World at WordPress have been created to support our current megaliths.net website. and to substitute for megaliths.co.uk and megaliths.org, which shut down at the end of April, 2006. The enormous expense involved in maintaining these sites was not compensated for by any kind of monetary returns on our part.

Quite the contrary, we saw tremendous amounts of money being invested by society in archaeological nonsense and far lesser works than ours. See LexiLine for our discussion of a typical example, the Decipherment of the Nebra Sky Disk.

Moreover, we see evidence in scattered reports online that Google - at G-Drive - may soon be opening up the possibility of unlimited free online storage for materials such as ours.

In the interim, we will post our ideas via the free world of blogs and to such sites as Writely, a part of Google which we think will be a blockbuster application, and which thus far offers in the Beta version the possibility of posting materials for free to their site.

We already have some examples posted rightly to Writely regarding the Sumerian Temple Hymns:
The Sumerian Temple Hymns - Corrected Transcription and Reading by Andis Kaulins (still in process, and you can see there how far along I am)
Sumerian Temple Hymn - New Transcription of the Composite Text by Andis Kaulins (still in process)
Sumerian Temple Hymn Original Transcription Oxford

One great thing about Writely is that one can also open documents to collaborative work (one can choose the collaborators) and I may be trying this as I get some of the megalithic materials online. This would permit website pages to obtain an existence of their own, not dependent on any particular author, much like the Wikipedia, so that there could be ongoing correction and change of materials to suit the existing state of knowledge.

In other words, we are just changing forums, but the message will stay the same.
