So far my curation website is going great! I have set it all up and gotten a big start on it. So far it has been split into 6 different sections, a home page, and then pages on engine options, tranny options, body options, suspension information, and helpful forums.
     I have entered in the information for the engine options, body options, and helpful forums so far, and plan to continue entering more as I find it. An interesting thing that I found was in researching forums I found 1 or 2 that I haven't seen before, so those may be able to help me in the future. I found the different transmissions available on this year silverado, but I am having a very hard time finding which packages and engines each tranny was available with. This is going to be the next step I will take, I have looked on the web and had no luck so I may take another trip to Chevy and ask some of the employees there. Then, I will research information on the suspension in the different 01 silverado's. I have not started researching that one yet but I think there should be plenty of information on it online.
     This project is going great so far, and I genuinely enjoy adding to my page. I see it as a way of recording information for myself, since it is about the type of truck that I own. The only trouble I have been having is finding every piece of information that I want. Some stuff comes up very easily in research and some I can't find anywhere, so to fix this I am just going to broaden my research to books and other people, like a dealership.

Curation Update

      So far, I don't have 1 most significant peice of information. I have basicaly just found a bunch of basic information, which is what I'm trying to do. The information I am looking for and have partialy found is engine options, trim packages, suspension types, transmission options, and any other factors of the truck. My next step is to continues finding this information, I have already found what engines came in it and the specs of those engines and I've found the different transmissions and specs on those, so now I need to find the rest. My next step is also to create the website, i plan on using the goolge site thing provided on the humanities page.
     Overall this project is going well and I really enjoy it. The fact that I am researching something I find to be very interesting makes the rewsearch process a lot easier and more enjoyable. I have had no trouble finding the information that I need taking advantage of wikipedia and different blogs. The information i want to find is also easy to find so it's working out well.
      For my interviews I talked to two of my friends with differet trucks and Mr. Vodika, explaining the project to them and asking about if they would find a website like this helpful. They all said that a website soley about their specific year truck would be really helpful since finding information when they need it can be tough since there is so much stuff out there. I also plan on going to Chevy and asking them about like common things that the truck came in for when it was new and their opinions on the truck compared to other trucks. I have not had a chance to do this yet but I plan on it.
