Last summer I created a pretty big weblog network for a Catholic elementary school here in Chicago. I also documented my work pretty heavily, showing why I did things certain ways, showing css snippets, and generally laying it out so that people who come in later can see what’s going on.
When my friend Cliff McIntosh got into a web development project for his kid’s school, he used TypePad and the templates & documentation I created as a base for his work. The results are here. Excellent stuff.
Upshots:
- Explain yourself to yourself– it helps
- Remember that things change, especially in a place like a grade school or other changing -membership organizations. Having a simple answer to the question, "how was that website done?" is critical when things change
- Share!
