• Coinciding with the rise of the internet, this is where I honed my web development chops. In the early days, I was a jack-of-all-(website)-trades—doing everything from strategy and design to code and marketing. Later.
• I built my area's first online pizza-ordering website, way back in 2000—using ColdFusion and an email-to-fax service! (The pizza parlor didn't have any computers on site.)
• When a Fortune 500 wanted to create a major online contest and their in-house team said it couldn't be done in time, they tapped me. My small team turned around a fast, reliable site that included a Facebook.
• In the infancy of blogging, I partnered with a corporate blogging consultant (she did strategy, I did design and development). Together we created the first blogs for a number of Fortune 500s.

• At this small library, I managed the Reference Department and also wore several other hats, including...
• developing and maintaining the library's website
• creating a web-based intranet application to manage access to the library's public-use computers
• teaching community classes on basic computer usage, internet searching, and office applications
• serving on a year-long multi-library team that created an extensive RFP and evaluated proposals and presentations from Integrated Library System providers
• digitizing the library's interlibrary loan process for better visibility and record-keepingOne of the long-term surprises came from helping people gain skills and confidence online. The idea of "easy to use" is highly.
