Since bringing my site back up, I have been playing with various themes. The last theme I was using unfortunately had a dark background and white font. This caused my code samples to not be visible unless you highlighted the content. Awkward.

That's why today I bring you Addari. Hopefully this works better for you and me.

With this change, I also installed a spam filter on my comments. I have been moderating all my comments since originally started, but hoping this spam filter will fix that and I can get back to just blogging.

This project is to define the steps from inital site request description to final specification document for building a site.

This is inspired by the IBM Developer works series. While this will not be from an IA professional, this project will use some of the techniques to define a site design before it is built.

Background: My wife is a part time school teacher for a local middle school. She has been wanting to start a website for a number of years to improve the communications with her students and parents. Previous failed starts required a high level of sophistication and technical expertise, including experience coding HTML, or using FrontPage and FTP clients. By taking advantage of the Drupal engine for content management, my wife simply needs to enter her information and attach any handouts. I still get involved in some of the more complicated programming, but no longer need to create and edit content for her.
