Project Launch: Washington Post - Post Global

Jun 20, 2006 | 1 | Projects

Another project I have been working on launched recently. Post Global is a blog platform that Washington Post writers are using to debate global issues. You can read more about this "experiment" in global journalism here.

Each week, Washington Post editors post a question of global significance on the main Post Global site. Over 30 writers from around the world respond to the issue on their own blog and readers chime in with their own comments.

I was responsible for creating the Movable Type templates that are used to combine content from over 30 different blogs to create the Post Global site. This was accomplished through heavy use of third party plugins like MultiBlog, Custom Fields, Arithmetic and MTSQL.

Many thanks to all of the fine folks who develop Movable Type plugins. Movable Type would not be nearly so useful without them.

Project Launch: Big Red Network

Jun 14, 2006 | 0 | Projects

There hasn't been much traffic here on the Surprise Highway lately. I have been focusing on some side projects which have kept me pretty busy.

One project that I am really excited about is the Big Red Network, a site for Nebraska Cornhusker football fans. (There are more of us than you think. And we are fanatics.)

If you are a college footbal fan check us out. For the rest of you geeks, I'll be sharing some tips I picked up about using Movable Type and getting publicity for new web sites. Stay tuned.
