Suggestion for DA and Realization

Thu Dec 7, 2006, 3:07 PM
So I noticed something today, well I've noticed it before, but DA doesn't let you submit .doc files, but it does let you submit .jpegs. I was thinking as to why, and I think it's rather obvious to me now. When you click "expand" on a piece it art, it just renders the image for you that you uploaded. If you had the same thing occur with a .doc file, it'd probably have to open up in Word, rather than on the web site itself, which would mean a download, which would be a security issue.

In any case, it kind of annoyed me, since I end up having to make a lot of "visual" poetry that is basically just me taking a screen shot of my work because the text formatting here doesn't allow for as many advanced procedures. I wanted to submit a piece I did as a final project, that's 5 pages long, but it's got images and extreme amounts of text formatting in it that just won't do as a series of screen shots.

So anyway, if you want to check it out, go here to read the .doc file. I invented a new form of literary structure to produce the final part of it, so whee and all that. Thought I'd share it while I was positive enough to try.
