Changes

So, summer camp took so much time, I haven’t been keeping this up. Awhile ago, I’m not sure if I intended to – I just wanted to figure out the WordPress engine a little, see what I could do with it.

Now, I think I may start this back up again, trying hard to give people a real inside/backstage look at what goes on around here, as well as possibly some non-SSI-related work projects.

Changes:
* Emily and Michael got married and moved to Taiwan. You can read their blog (pictures, video, diary) here, and you can keep in touch with them through comments on that site, or their email (I’ll try to get Michael to put it up on his website?).
* Amy and Ashley (from CTV) have both taken on part of Michael’s responsibilities part-time, as an interim measure until we replace Michael’s full-time position with a new employee.
* Nate is now a paid part-time staff for both CTV and SSI, splitting his hours.
* I am also switching my hours to 20 a week for SSI and 20 a week for CTV, to give CTV some more manpower during the upcoming election year (I’ll be doing website/email/communications/administration work).
* And we have two new unpaid interns, Michael, who started this week – he’s in 3 days a week, and has started by helping me design a promotional email for the Ambassador League program; and Erin, who started a couple months back, and is in 2 days a week, and helps with general administration and data entry.

Big Projects I’ve done recently:
* Installed a new domain server. I had never done it before, learned a bit.
* New email list management system is up and running – now automated to save me an afternoon of work every week.

Big Projects I’m doing shortly:
* New backup system
* Upgrading user machines (both hardware/software)
* Migrating SSI website to new server
