Joyce Portal
at Jorn Barger's Robot Wisdom Pages
http://www.robotwisdom.com/jaj/portal.html
This pioneering and most comprehensive site for Joyce information and scholarship has been updated and reorganized using an excellent "one-layer web design" of Jorn Barger's devising, which presents a wealth of Joyce links direct to pages with information, rather than to site index pages.  For further convenience the links are divided by the Joyce works to which they primarily apply, and are all on one fairly small page.  It looks a lot better, too.  For those who miss the old page because it was more familiar, it's still available:

In addition to the Portal with its links, there is a good deal of original research and other material, plus more links, on the main Joyce Page:

James Joyce's Dublin
by Marylin Bender
Walking tours of Joyce's city
http://www.nysoclib.org/travels/joyce.html
In recent years I have discovered Dublin by literally walking in the steps of James Joyce and his characters and in so doing have enjoyed a dual love affair. The Dublin inhabited by Joyce and his Everyman was an Edwardian backwater of the British Empire, a city of gaslight, horsedrawn carriages, outdoor plumbing and many unpaved streets. The magnificent Georgian houses and squares built in the 18th century, Dublin's golden age, for the Anglo-Irish landowners attending the short-lived Irish Parliament had been lapsing into slums. Grinding poverty confronted faded elegance. Revolution was more than a decade in the future. The Irish Literary Revival led by William Butler Yeats and Lady Gregory was unfolding in theaters and meeting rooms but the prickly 22-year-old Joyce did not participate in the movement.

Flying By the Net:
James Joyce in Cyberspace
http://publish.uwo.ca/~mgroden/flying1.html
Flying By the Net, designed to be a regular James Joyce Quarterly column, hopes to track the enormous amount of Internet activity that Joyce and his works have inspired. Various World Wide Web sites house many different kinds of information and also provide links to other sites; primary and secondary documents are deposited on the Web; a new electronic journal of Joyce scholarship and criticism has been established; and several Internet discussion lists are devoted to Joyce.  This first installment of the column provides a guide to the resources by listing, locating, and briefly annotating them. Later installments will elaborate on particular issues, devote more space to specific sites, or discuss aspects of electronic Joyce beyond the Internet.
