Sites of Conscience Update 2/19/2010

I came across this old post about my work on the Sites of Conscience site and thought I’d bring it up to date.

The design has continued to evolve, and I’ve made some updates to the programming, such as adding a new tab, and a newsticker on the homepage, and some new methods of administering newsletters, press releases and institutional members.

A lot of the content has evolved too, particularly in the sections on the right side of the navigation.

I’ve learned a lot from working on this project for the last few years. I’m not sure I ever would have really gotten into WordPress if not for this project. So this blog would be a lot different!

Sites of Conscience 10/4/2007

Today I finished a site for the Lower East Side Tenement Museum’s Sites of Conscience project.  Sites of Conscience is a network of museums around the world that educate the public about breaches of human rights. The site’s got a lot of really informative content on it.  I learned a lot of history while coding it (I didn’t write the content, though) such as about the Bengali War for Independence which was waged only thirty years ago.

Anyway, I did this initial draft design in ’06.  Then another company picked up the project, brightening it up a bit and giving it a WordPress backend.  Then in August I was hired back to the project and today it went live!
