I have dismantled the Mark Twain Resources on the World Wide Web site and created a new Mark Twain site at The Mining Company, a new (it opens today) directory of topic-specific sites that have a lot of additional features. The new URL is: http://marktwain.miningco.com/ The new site has all of the links that the old one had plus short weekly feature articles (which I'll often use to put additional Twain texts online), an events calendar (currently filled with Twain trivia for the month of April), and more. Sometime soon it will also have Twain-specific bulletin boards for threaded discussions, and live online chat (both will work within your web browser) that I hope can be used for virtual conferences on a variety of topics -- teaching Huckleberry Finn, international discussions between classes studying his books, author "appearances," etc.) If you have upcoming events that you would like listed in the calendar, please let me know. Also let me know if you would like to consider scheduling a special event using live chat once its online. I think that will open up some exciting possibilities but I have no idea what all of them might be so I'll be very happy to hear suggestions. I'll also welcome any other suggestions you have for the site, including any public domain texts you'd like to see online. Complaints also welcome!
