A Tool for the Toolbox

            We all know how hard it is to find the things that we want to know on the internet. The countless google searches to find the information that you're looking for, its one thing that I'm sure most people hate. I found a good resource for this class in particular, its a website that could be very useful for some of the things that we are reading this semester. It has many different tabs that let you navigate through the site, which it not only has Medieval History it also has other times in history and other subjects to look through as well. The page with all the Medieval History information has many different pictures that get you interested in the topics that the site has about the history.

          While I was looking through the site I found a page about Beowulf, this page had a lot of different information about this work of Medieval Literature. There were a lot of links to other related pages that you could see additional information. This helps to let the readers know that the information is actually reliable unlike other sources that may not give where they actually got the information from. There were links that took you to where you could buy the book that the information came from. There was also a link that would let you contact someone that was said to be a Medieval History Expert, but who needs that when we have Dr. Mann, right? There are also relevant topics that come up with little blurbs and photos of what it is mainly about. 

          I'm sure there is probably a better website out there that is more helpful than this one, because this website is only a .com website. Since it is a .com website it makes it a little less credible even though it has links to other sources and material in the ends of the page. It could be a great starting point for someone to begin a research paper or when looking for a topic to write about for a blog. But it may not be the only source that you would want to have if you put the information from it in a paper.
