Technical Skills/Experience

HTML

Years experience: 9

Like most folks who discovered the web when Mosaic arrived on the scene, I learned HTML by studying page source and referring to online primers. As a result, I'm much more comfortable writing my own HTML than using web authoring software. I've got quite a bit of experience using the standard HTML features many web authors use: tables, server-side includes, and cascading stylesheets.

Almost all the online projects I've worked on over the past six years have involved a web presence of some kind, and I served as the website manager for the National Council of Teachers of English for three years. Most of my work recently has been focused on developing templates that enable content folks to get their work online easily.

Programming

Years experience: 7

I know enough Perl to get by. At NCTE I made extensive use of forms to allow users to submit and publish information, and I used Perl for the CGI scripts that made it possible. For the past two years I've been using PHP and MySQL almost exclusively.

Discussion List Management and Administration

Years experience: 12

I've managed discussion lists using Listserv, Listproc, Majordomo, Majordomo2, and Yahoogroups software. I currently use Majordomo2 along with MhonArc for archive-building and HtDig for search functions. I manage more than 300 discussion lists.

Web Forum Administration

Years experience: 8

I've installed and administered web-based discussion programs, including HyperNews and Ceilidh.
