Over the last couple of weeks I have been in charge of a migration from one Salsa Labs platform to another. The reason for this seemingly meaningless and unrecognizable change, at first glance to the end-user, is to host the KeepAmericaFishing™ actions, e-mail and donation forms on their own dedicated IP address. Previously, KeepAmericaFishing actions, […]
Having recently completed a site design update on my own Web site, I feel it is time to update the Hullabaloo Stories Web site. I intend to implement the 960 Grid System into the redesign as I had the WillHull.com update. Essentially, what I did for WillHull.com, I intend to do for Hullabaloo Stories. Since […]
Recently, I ran across an article on Six Revisions entitled, “The 960 Grid System Made Easy” by Joshua Johnson. I have known about the 960 Grid System for some time now. However, I had yet, up to this point, to implement the system in any of my designs. As I had some time on my […]
If you’ve been following me lately, you know that I recently started a new position with the American Sportfishing Association as Web Manager for KeepAmericaFishing™. These past three weeks have been amazing and incredibly challenging in many ways. First, I have never used Salsa Labs or ExpressionEngine in a professional capacity before. My learning curve […]

Yesterday, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and I parted ways amicably. The event was no fault of my own or LCV’s. As such, I am again, back on the hunt for a new job. This time, I hope to refrain from jumping at the first offer and really consider whether it is a good […]
Today is a great day for me. Since I started with League of Conservation Voters, I advocated for the new Adobe Creative Suite (CS) to do my job more effectively. Because I work at a nonprofit, we were able to get the product from Tech Soup at an incredibly discounted rate. I am happy to […]
Recently I wrote a response to the Progressive Exchange Listserve regarding the question of whether or not to convert an active e-newsletter into a blog. The short answer, in my opinion is yes, you should convert your regular e-newsletter into a blog. But only if it makes sense for your organization to do so. For […]
Mark Hrywna of the The Nonprofit Times recently published an article titled, “Social Network Fundraising Creating Jobs” reviewing the “Nonprofit Social Network Benchmark Report,” released recently by Portland, Oregon-based Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN), ThePort Network in Atlanta, and Common Knowledge in San Francisco. During his synopsis of the report, he discusses that when a nonprofit […]
Originally restricted by the confines of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Obama Administration, through the Office of Management and Budget, recently released a memorandum to all federal agencies that affirmed an original memorandum issued by President Obama on January 21, 2009 calling for “a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration” as part of the […]
While I was building my personal Web site here at WillHull.com, I was also exploring new ways to increase my networking capability in the “real world,” post-graduation from graduate school.
