I should probably explain that this is entirely database driven and necessarily more limited than the weakest word processor. Still, we're trying to add features and eliminate glitches. I'm impressed at how Virginia and Tim have added images to their profiles and how they and Jane have managed to already get some of their materials attached. The advantage of this approach is that users can choose when to download that giant file rather than forcing them to do so just to get their email messages.

As for the size of the type -- you may wish to go to View on your toolbar at the top of your browser window and choose Text Size and opt for larger print. Remember also that you can choose to display the posts in reverse order (choose display options up above the posts) or to display them so you can see which responses are tied to which messages (threaded view).

As for formatting, a little will go a long way. I'd especially urge caution in using bullets, etc. Color can be overdone as well. Remember the background you are working with. Of course, you can format to your heart's content on any documents you attach.

I greatly lament not picking up the two volume set that Jane describes above. She beat me to the last copies at the bookstore at Seoul's Incheon airport. The gsbooks website looks rich, but for those whose han'gul skills aren't what they should be may need to look elsewhere. One site that has the books mentioned (as well as a Korea Foundation series that wears nearly the same name, be careful before hitting the buy button) is HanBooks.com:
http://http://hanbooks.com/korculingen.html

The books are "sale" priced at $46 each (ouch, I remember that the temple bookstore offered them at about 30,000 won each, or less than $30).

Connie's named another wonderful resource, Lost Names by Richard Kim. As some in our seminars may recall, we distributed photocopies of a series of Education About Asia articles on this wonderful book. Those articles are available at: http://www.aasianst.org/EAA/lostname.htm

Joint Security Area was an award-winning and box office success a couple years back. SubwayCinema.com has a good page on it at http://http://www.subwaycinema.com/frames/archives/kfest2001/jsa.htm.

As part of the AsiaStats section of our website, we have info on Korean film awards, 2000. http://http://www.isop.ucla.edu/eas/statistics/00koreanawards.htm

As it happens, I'm showing it and Earth to our summer institute group.

Another film worth checking out is Chunhyang. AsianWeek.com has a good article on its director Im Kwon Taek at http://http://hanbooks.com/korculingen.html Teachers might like it as it retells a popular Korean folk tale (a love story that crosses class lines...).
