Blog #4: My Hypertext

So after careful thought and last week's class discussion, I have officially decided on the literature aspect of my hypertext. My hypertext is going to be titled The Scavenger Hunt. Obviously the text and the literature are going to mirror that of a scavenger hunt. I have already created my opening scene which contains the description and the rules of the game. However, I wrote it in such a way that it can also be applied to the way we approach electronic literature as a whole. I have also begun to create a list which is imperative to the game both in reality and in the World Wide Web. The list is still a work in progress. I was aiming to include ten items that contain double meaning and play off the idea of what electronic literature isn't. But the more I think about it, it might be too obvious and ultimately contradict my purpose. So now I am thinking about maybe providing three items and making them the links. As for the following text, I was contemplating writing from the perspective of the item that is being search for or from the perspective of the searcher. Also, I want to try to make the internal links significant but might have trouble doing so since I don't want to turn this into Twelve Blue.
As for the technological end of the hypertext, I am really unsure how to approach the construction of it all. I have messed around on Google Sites a bit but it is really foreign to me. I am hoping we can explore it more as a class. I feel, however, once I obtain a stronger understanding of the site The Scavenger Hunt hypertext will fall into place.
