Here is my Omeka site. This is a start to what I hope to expand in the future. I wanted to make a site on different adaptations that were created from Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. I decided to make my first focus and exhibit on different adaptations shown through visual mediums. I decided to show a television series, a film, and a YouTube series as examples. I may expand this section later to show more than three adaptations.

I plan to make another exhibit in the future on the literary adaptations that were also created. I found some images and examples that I can expand on and talk about, but time (and patience) wise I decided to focus on only the visual adaptations so far in my Omeka experience. I was surprised with how I was able to catch on with this site, it was frustrating for me at the beginning because I had a specific image or visual in my mind on how I wanted my site to look like, that it was unrealistic and caused more problems for me. I decided that I can work on the visual aspect later and after I get a feel for the site more, and instead decided to focus on the content and how I wanted to create my first exhibit. I am happy with my results thus far and hope to come back to this site and expand it further with new information that I am able to gather and discuss.
