Finally I have a product! Something to show for my hard work.

The website is still in the rough stages, but my main task/goal is probably 75% completed now.

For the transition from Wayne State University to NMT, I was in charge of building sort of reconstruction page that states that the journal is on the move from WSU to NMT. I included previous issues and links to the rest of the site. The first/home page for now is just temporary until the journal becomes active, which might possibly be in mid-end of the fall semester.

I also came up with some rough ideas about the focus of the journal and what direction it might go in for the future. I researched other journals and TC programs at other schools. I thought that maybe it would be a good learning experience for Dr. Newmark as well as TC students if the journal was incorporated into a class, like through the article writing class, or the web design class as a "client project." Dr. Newmark loved those ideas and we are going to talk to Dr. Ford about the future of the journal in the TC program.

Right now the page is still a bit rough, and the rest of the site has some tense issues because that version of the journal is no longer present. The changes are minor at this stage, just a bit more time consuming on my day working alone.

If you would like to look at the my work so far follow this link: www.nmt.edu/~xchanges and for now until the formating changes are fixed it looks best in Internet Explorer, but it works just fine in Firefox.

Note: The very first/home page is the page I created, after you click on an issue link on the left nav bar, that part of the site was already created.
