Geekiness to the Nth Degree

Yeah, I'm a geek. This post is going to be brief, but I figured I'd show off a bit of my technical acumen (limited as it is) with my latest web project. I have been working as an educational technologist on top of my day job as an English teacher. It's been pretty interesting, all in all, and has brought me in contact with many interesting people and even more interesting technical projects, one of which has been to redesign the school's technology website.

I did the website, but my boss wanted a blog on the site, and, not being a web designer, I was baffled as to how to get it to appear on the page. Lots of research and work with the tech guys led me to the hack I eventually found, which was to house the blog on Blogger and to bring it in to the TechTimes website via the iframe tag. It's not perfect, but it works! Maybe I'll take another stab at getting Wordpress up on the site, but, for now, the blog is there, the boss is happy, and I can begin the Guidance department redesign!

I have to say that, while it certainly isn't writing fiction, it's still pretty damn rewarding...and fun, too. Techtimes is found at http://ves.neric.org/techtimes/index.html. Just go to the Blog section to see the handiwork.
