Cord’s Life

I teach at the local alternative school, The Farm School. In past years I taught Algebra 1 & 2 and applied physics and handled administration of the computers. This year I am teaching Advanced Mathematics(trigonometry, etc.) and Web Design.

This year I hope the Web Design class can take over design of the school site. I have setup a students section of my website, for their personal projects and sites. I am trying to allow my Web Design students to do something that really appeals to them and so I set one of my students up with a wordpress blog. He is an artist and wants to do his own web comic. He showed me a site that ran a theme he liked and I tracked it back to the source.

I found the developer’s website, Comic Press. The theme was easy to install and seems really nice, it is called Comic Press(and it’s related plug-in for ease-of-use). It is used on quite a few good web comics and allows you to have a comics section independent of your blog posts, in a variety of ways, with really great design.

Last year we had a really bad drought all summer and while this year has been substantially better, it has been lacking in rain in teh last month, especially for someone from Oregon, where it rains a bit each day, it seems. Right now outside is a downpour, lightning and there is thunder in the distance…it is really beautiful, especially when it rains hard enough to make a kind of music on the roof.
Here’s a link to a cool rainstorm pic, it’s not mine.

Sorry about about only posting a few times a week lately, our wireless internet has been rather sketchy…I will keep tryingto post as often as possible!

Thanks for reading!
