Did more research on Salieri, and started and completed his biography. I think I am nearly done with working on this website, but I will need to proofread everything to make sure information is accurate and the right people are credited for their works (like images, details about Salieri, etc). Time spent: 4 hours

Got caught up on the class essay so I could not update this site. I decided to begin working on the biography, and discovered a trove of Salieri recordings that I did not find before. Most of these recordings are of his operas, and nearly all of the operas he has ever written have recordings for it! I added all of these to the Works page. Also did some research on Salieri's life in preparation to write his biography. Time spent: 2 hours

Listened to all of the Salieri's works that I could find, and wrote up my opinions and analysis of most of the pieces. I found out that there really aren't that many recordings of Salieri pieces, nor do many of his sheet music exist. Luckily I was able to find many recordings of his operas by Cecilia Bartoli and enjoyed her performances of some of Salieri's compositions. Time spent: 2 hours

Finished creating the About and Credits page. Began listening to some of Salieri's compositions in preparation to fill in the Works page. Time spent: 1 hour

Searched very hard to find as many performances and sheet music for Salieri's works, and added them to the Works page. Also added some missing compositions and fixed broken links and images. Time spent: 1 hour

Looked up a list of compositions by Salieri, and began his Works page. Spent a really long time formatting the page such that expanding tables would work and formatting was consistent and done correctly. Began filling in the page with content. The Biography page will probably be done last, since it seems that it might take the longest. The Works page won't be as complete as I thought it could be because it would take an insanely large amount of time to search and locate recordings sheets for all of Salieri's compositions. Therefore I think I will only find such resources for his major works. However, I did finish putting all of his works that I could find up. Time spent: 4 hours

Spent a long time looking for a good template and getting it to work, and setting up the website. Started reading some material on Antonio Salieri. Page are still not up or complete yet. Time spent: 1 hour
