The news pages for one reason or another are hosted in a WordPress install and so a certain amount of wordpress-fudgery has been required…

I wouldn’t say I was a highly experienced or adept WordPress designer but I have learnt a thing or two about how it works over the years, and I do have all number of instances of it working in various ways in my main work, my freelance, and personal life. Today, I was able to bring all of these influences together to fix the faculty news pages quickly. It was just an added bonus that in doing so I was also able to solve a problem on both this personal blog, and the Abingdon Concert Band website.

Nicola, Sophie, and myself have been working hard produce a new department portal and navigational structure. We were always expecting this to be a back’n’forth process of agreement and changes, but we were hoping that there would be broad approval … enough at least to soft‐launch it on Tuesday and add functionality and make tweaks in the new year. That, at least, was the plan…

We’ve had a handful of responses so far, and the verdict is not good. What’s worse is that they are commenting on things that we already addressed in the draft statement, things that we know about and are working on but are making them a bigger deal; and they are being stupid and not realising that they are part of a school and as such there has to be some similarity between how all the departments in the school look and feel and work.

I’m not taking it personally, and I was expecting resistance but its still hard. It’s hard not to take it personally.

I’m working on three projects at the moment, finishing up the Huxley Scientific Press site design, working on a new site for Hyde District Climate Change Forum, and finally putting place the main structure of my own web design mini-site…

Busy, but hey! I’m actually making websites…
