Finally over

March 10, 2008 by Lloyd 15 Comments

UPDATE:  Hang on, guys.  The website was down last night, so Lloyd’s article didn’t get posted.  He’ll fix it after he gets ready.

BTW:  Happy Birthday, Deborah!


As some of you know, I’ve been working on a new website for Lincoln Lutheran on and off for about 3 years. There’s never been enough time in the day to work on it much during the school year, so last summer I decided that I would just do it. I was aided by the fact that the Game of the Summer really sucked and Brad had a new nephew to keep him busy.

This would look really cutting edge if it was still 2004

I think I did a nice job if I do say so myself. I don’t know how much schools are normally charged for a new website, but I got a flyer in the mail at the start of the school year that had a coupon for $5,000.00 off. The best part of the website is that it takes information in a central location (news and calendar items) and automatically distributes them to very specific subpages. For example, if you put a choir concert on the main calendar or post an announcement about it, that information automatically appears on the choir page (and on the music department page). Basically, I am very, very lazy. For instance:

I didn’t want to answer a lot of questions about the new website, so there’s a tour you can take. I was tired of trying to figure out when people had the computer lab reserved, so there’s a reservation system. I didn’t want to have to do so much work for our Middle School Fun Nights, now there’s an online handbook.

I don’t mind doing work, as long as the net result is that I can sleep more.

    So what the heck is going on with Laurenburg? All of our services are consistently low while the population booms. Are people reproducing on their own now?

      Yeah, it seems like a “one step forward, two steps back” sort of thing.

      Your school website looks nice too. Did someone redo it recently? I ask, because I seem to recall it not looking as sharp last time I checked. You do some nice things on yours that I will be stealing in the future.

        Why yes, thanks for noticing. In between my regular work I have been working on the site. It’s sort of like a hobby.

    Oh, I love functionality like that! We have issues at work where things don’t get updated because they have to be posted several places. Good stuff!

        Older than some. Not as old as others.
