Wikivietlit Website Launch!

Over the course of the last month, I have been working on the development of a wiki for the Viet Nam Literature Project. My primary tasks for this particular assignment were the installation and customization of a Wikipedia-style wiki for vietnamlit.org.

There was a minimal amount of design work involved. In addition to a custom wiki logo (above) that was reworked from a pre-existing site logo, the only other design work that I did for the wiki dealt with the CSS layout and customization of the main page, which you can see by visiting the Wikivietlit website. Everything is being powered by MediaWiki.

First Impressions Matter: On Media Temple

Big Square Dot is a brand new company and all I need is a reliable hosting solution that stays up for the time that I have paid for. I could have easily gone with a less reputable hosting company, but I trusted Media Temple because so many other web designers and technology websites are using them.

My life is my work right now. I am a recent college graduate who is attempting to sprint his way into the web development world, and this cannot happen if I have a host that injures my credibility as a web designer, programmer, and frequent blogger.
