The First Month

Just like that, three weeks have passed already! I have already written some content for our site since Grassroots.org just launched their Toolbox, which has a bunch of web development and business services all in one convenient spot. Some of the services that we provide are domain registration, web hosting, web building tools, virtual phone office, and even project consulting. I'm sure that some of the organizations that you are all working with may need one or more of these so feel free to check it out and possibly sign up.

My job this month has been making sure the help content and layout of the Toolbox is easy to navigate and understand. I am getting a lot of feedback from the members who call in asking for help, which actually makes my job easier. The hard part is thinking about how to easily present information so that our members, most of whom aren't tech savvy, are given information in an intuitive format. Having experience in creating web content, I think I'll have to learn a little more about information architecture and HTML before I can complete the project.

Besides that, I have been writing writing writing! It's my niche of course, and right now I'm writing a short piece to be published in the WSJ (WEB Street Journal, ha!)

I've also been encouraged to think about some future long-term projects at Grassroots, which is maybe what I'll be updating on next time I post! I hope everyone else is enjoying their month and adjusting well!
