Building a School Website One Blog at a Time

I'm in Edson and spent the day giving a seminar at the Grande Yellowhead School Division. It was a fun day. I have audio, but my system resolutely refuses to let me upload them - whether it's my FTP program, my web server, or the hotel connection, I don't know. So I offer you this link, about building a school website one blog at a time - because I will certainly use it as an example during the continuation of our seminar tomorrow.

I have been using Movable Type (Six Apart) to as a content management system to feed websites for a few years. (I used Blogger to do the same years before they were purchased by Google). I now use Movable Type to feed the Grandview Elementary School Library website where I have taken a position as the Library Media Specialist. Every page is fed by one or more Movable Type "categories". A great feature is the ability to associate the same post with multiple categories - hence the ability to show a book at mulitple grade levels when appropriate. You can feed multiple categories into the same page making it simple to include different content in different sections of the page. All of the "feeds" are created with templates pointing to the categories. I use Typepad for Mrs. Chauncey's Blog -- just because I enjoy some of its features. www.grandviewlibrary.org -- Sarah [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
