Web design for progressive groups

Right now I'm designing and programming websites for groups, and apologize that I haven't had time to deveop my own site.

No, the links at the top still aren't live yet. But eventually you'll see pictures & samples of my recent work, and other goodies. . . I hope to add and update a blog with insights on what's happening to high-tech jobs.

Recent web sites I designed & programmed

Here are a few links to sites I've created (for groups that are worth checking out, in any case):

The Berger-Marks Foundation. Founded by the Newspaper Guild's first woman organizer and her lyrical husband, it supports women union organizers

The National Lawyers Guild International Committee This site is generated by open-source php programming so that lawyers can input regular news, events and reports on international rights through simple, custom-designed forms.

The UE International web site features a regular newsletter on what's happening to labor in Mexico, among other things. Highlights from Mexican Labor News & Analysis are now available as an RSS feed. Get feed.

Wayne State University Labor Studies Center - still carrying on it's excellent tradition of educating working people in the Detroit area.

Tip: A couple of free programs for creating web graphics

In the meantime, here's a tip: I just discovered two programs for people who occasionally need to format graphics for the web but don't want to shell out the big money for Photoshop. Irfanview is the simplist; download it -- for free! -- from their web site.

The Gimp is also a free download, but a bit more complex. It has many more features, including a Mac OSX version and a better interface for compressing Jpeg graphics to usable web sizes.

More to come

If you need to contact me, here's how: And visit again every so often. Thanks!
