Planning both the design and function of web sites, sharing ideas with others
The SPLOT Tool I am most proud of is the TRU Writer– there is more to write later about how it represents the SPLOT idea. We made it first as an experiment in creating a rich publishing platform that people […]
Something like 98.5% (a totally made up number) of WordPress sites are bloggy- a front page of posts arranged in reverse chronological order, be just a vertical stack or little square icons. Hence when I say “WordPress” most people see […]
It’s exciting to see some applications of the SPLOT TRU Writer tool. TRU English prof Ken Simpson has two sections of his courses using instances made for each class: We are set to let another group of computer science students […]

I’m starting to settle into this Moesia Theme (you can see it in action on the Mickey test blog, this is one I set up to allow switching of themes). I like the big splash welcome: This can have text […]
