Pollak Library’s custom research guide solution

Pollak Library Guide to Digital History (HISTORY 456 Fall 09 Rast)

  My last post, about the Digital History Guide I am building for a Public History class, has sparked a few Tweets and emails asking me about Pollak Library’s research guide solution. Pollak Library launched a new content management system and subject guide solution just this semester, which is live, but still kind of in [...]

My personal posts are moving to a new blog

Our new family blog: Greene Adventures.

So, I know that I am probably overextending my social media self, but from here on out, my “personal” posts (about family, the wedding, my hikes, etc.) can be found on Greene Adventures, a brand new family blog that Jeff and I launched today to coincide with the one-month countdown to our wedding. Like my [...]

Redesigned my blog

My old Drupal design

Today’s the official launch of my redesigned blog! I’ve spent the past week or so migrating my site from a Drupal (v.5) platform to a WordPress (v.2.7) one.  And after a lot of experimental SQL scripts, I’m finally done.  If you hopped on my site late last night, you were greeted with an “Undergoing Maintenance” [...]

Built a new blog on WordPress

I am bad about using and following through with Google Analytics. I install the code snippets on every site I develop, but then I just kind of forget about it, unless it’s for a company with whom I’m employed. They usually have their own marketing people who run with and analyze the data. But, as [...]

Drupal training within a day’s drive of OC

I am a big fan and user of the Drupal content management system, so I get a lot of friends and colleagues who ask me for advise about learning it. When my advise is sought, I am always eager to share my enthusiasm for Drupal, but I am equally honest about how difficult the learning [...]

Redesigned my web site

It’s been over two months since my last post, but I’m back… I’ve tried to use my lay-off time to catch up on some sorely neglected web projects, and brush up on some of the skills used to make these projects happen. The first project completed was a brand new web site for my church, [...]

Nice O’Reilly webcast on Drupal

I watched a really nice webcast this morning about Drupal, offered by O’Reilly Media. Titled “Everything You Wanted to Know about Drupal but were Afraid to Ask,” the webcast had an audience of over 300, from around the world, ranging from total novices to seasoned programmers and developers. Much of the webcast focused on intro [...]
