One Contemporary Review Added

I have encoded a short review of the 1855 Leaves of Grass from The Albion and posted it online: http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/leaves1855/anc.00272.html

updates to periodicals section

I corrected a typo to per.00004, "Song for Certain Congressman." Archive user André Hurtgen pointed out that the line "And pacify slace-breeding wrath" should read "And pacify slave-breeding wrath." Also, based on a suggestion from Susan Belsaco, I updated the bibliography of per.00185, the headnote for the Magazine of Art. I replaced "forthcoming" with the updated bibliographic information for the article "Editing Whitman's Poems in Periodicals."

Minor correction in markup of 1856 Leaves

Ryan Feather, one of the computer science students who is working on a comparison of the XML files of the editions of Leaves, pointed out an error in which a closing tag occurred before a page break where only a closing tag should have (at the bottom of page 133). I corrected and uploaded.

Challenge grant info. updated on front page and support page

I've replaced the first item under "News and Updates" to show that the fundraising goals has been met, and I've revised support/index.html to the same end.

Revised ancillary xslt

I revised ancillary.xsl to blockquote quoted material. The change affects xml material featured in the About section of the Archive including "Articles and Interviews About the Archive."

Encoding errors in 1871 Leaves corrected

A helpful Archive visitor, Samuel Graber, pointed out that the electronic table of contents for this edition didn't have an entry for either "Lo! Victress on the Peaks!" or "World, Take Good Notice." In the transcription file (ppp.00270.xml) both had been mistakenly encoded as sections of the previous poem, "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors." I corrected the structure, added appropriate tagging, validated, and uploaded.

Copyright on splash page updated

I changed the copyright notice at the bottom of the splash page (from 1995-2008 to 1995-2009).
