"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
Week 2 of my VISTA year was more of the same from the first week. I'm still working on cleaning up the service listings for the counties on the 4People website. While tedious, it's rewarding knowing that when people look at the county listings, they'll be more accurate with regard to the exterior links. (www.4people.org)
I've completed my 1st week of work, all done by telecommuting. The work has been tedious -- I've been updating the county service listings and directories in the 4people database, www.4People.org . In the process I learned a little bit of HTML and more about MS Word. Boy, are my eyes swimming!

Hi Marylin, did you get a tele-orientation? :-) Will you be telecommuting the entire time or is this just temporary?
Updating organizations sounds pretty tedious; too bad to teach you have to do. I hope you're learning a lot though about the process and probably the problems as well. Do you have any ideas yet on how you're going to create a training manual for it?
Keep up the great work!

Hey Marilyn,
just checking in to say hi. I'm a bit of a tedious geek myself when cleaning up data. I love figuring out ways to clean large amounts of it (though it can sometimes be all consuming:)
Sorry to hear about your horse. Maybe you could post some pictures?
Hope your VISTA years is going well,
