Bullet Group Web 2.0 Weblog, originally uploaded by juggernautco.

Created this simple, content-rich site to explain Web 2.0 technologies and show why they’re important to business.

Teacher Websites Training Followup, originally uploaded by juggernautco.

Created a one-page follow-up to extensive training materials for teachers who have yet to make the most of their TypePad publishing system.

I’ve found that as time passes after training, the people who did not immediately start publishing need a spark. The 24-page, customized publishing manual is of little use to people who forgot their password.This short, breezy page helps people get re-engaged with their websites.

• Client’s existing promotional video placed on homepage inside Flash
• News section based on TypePad, allowing client to easily update the site and leading to improved search engine optimization
• Trained client on how to update website
• Project included copywriting

• Met with client to determine needs, interest, skills, hardware, and software and researched leading e-commerce packages
• Site is completely based on the Yahoo! Merchant Solutions e-commerce platform,  making it easy and inexpensive for client to learn and maintain the system
• Highly recommended if you want a non-technical person to maintain the store after launch
• Set up all product categories and populated the store database with products from client’s FileMaker Pro
• Created custom, easy-to-follow documentation and trained the client onsite until they were comfortable with the system
• Used the built-in weblog tools from Yahoo! Merchant Solutions to create an artist  weblog for search engine optimization, including info on Fantasy figurine artist Amy Brown

• Site is built on WordPress and uses the Hemingway theme. Using flexible, feature-filled WordPress themes allows you to stand on the shoulders of giants and still make custom sites that meet specific needs
• Uses the WordPress Contact Form plugin– very simple to configure, but places in-line styles on every site page. Great for a quickie site like this
• Installed the FAlbum WordPress plugin,  which uses the Flickr API to deliver images from a specific set in my Flickr account. The result are easy-to-update photo albums that are embedded into the main website but served offsite.
• Encourages people who’ve purchased art from Andy Kane to upload to Flickr and tag with “andykane“– using free, offsite tools to develop community, build interest, and increase search engine optimization
• Uses a free TypePad weblog to publish Andy’s poetry book, American Radio Waves. TypePad design mimics color, font, and other styles of the main site w/o needing a new WordPress install. The right tool for the right job

• Over 50 teacher websites based on the TypePad weblog content management system.
• All of the teacher sites run off of the same template, which reduces admin maintenance while assuring that each website has the CCS website look & feel
• Teacher sites allow for customization at the blog level– teachers are able to put in the own header, subhead, “my links”, categories, and so on
• RSS feeds automatically served by FeedBurner, making it easy for parents to understand RSS and subscribe through various services
• Installed and configured the Moodle Learning Management System with the school’s look & feel
• Set up Google Calendar so that everyone can keep up with the many events from Pre-K to 12
• Created OPML file of feeds for all teacher sites for easy importing into RSS readers so that parents, teachers, and administrators can keep up with the whole school

• A linklog (for posting quick, annotated links from my Yahoo! My Web 2.0 account without creating a full post)
• My Flickr photos (custom created through FeedBurner). I made custom TypePad code to deliver the full posts for the last 5 entries and just the headlines for the 5th – 10th most recent
• Google Ads on just the individual archive page for the post, leaving the homepage ad-free.
• Google AdSense for Search to deliver the full site search for users and to generate revenue.

This weblog has also become my central site, and I’ve used the TypePad export/ import feature to consolidate posts, categories, and images into one central place.
