Bentonville is Walmart everything: headquarters, playground for all new and old technologies, and Rogers did not go far from all this excitement.
Anyway, here we go. Now I am unemployed once again :) I am volunteering as a web content manager for Global Water Dances and liking it. So I have one more skill under my belt: Wordpress. Because it is a toll basically, it can be learned and worked with HTML coding skills, so, I am learning it as I go. For example, I have learned where images go and how they stored. BTW, here is a very uncomfortable structure for images storage Wordpress gives by default. There are only two levels of digital library organization: year and month of uploading the picture. There is no way to create your own structure. So, in a way, pictures just piled up there. But Wordpress did come up with something called "Gallery." It is still a pile of pictures physically wise, but it's somewhat organized for visual presentation - on as web. There is restricted search. It is restricted to edit, to play with all together, so this is not really a developer's choice. Fortunately, here I learned very necessary thing: you can teach Wordpress to play with you. You just need to know ways around :) Sometimes waaaaay around, but here comes handy a good skills of mine: HTML/CSS coding. And thanks to my dad, I naturally have a good taste (I hope so) for designing the pages.
They do restrict you a lot in building your own page, but if you think about this, all this makes perfect sense. I am volunteer, and eventually I can drop that thing and somebody else should be able to pick it up right where I dropped it off.
