Test Site, Real Sites

Be warned: Right now, this is a merely test site for demo and training purposes. My real blog is at ClappingTrees (if only there's a way to link to my real blog from here, like the way I could at my Elgg.net blog!) and my elearning portal is at NETCoach Asia.

Wanna see some real sites that I've helped to create? Check these out:

  • Everest Innovation: Installed WordPress with a few clicks on a hosted server, changed the template, worked remotely with a graphics artist (in the USA, I think), installed some plugins, etc. Took almost a month to enter the company and workshop data, to edit them and to finetune the look-and-feel of the site.
  • The Seven Fountains: Installed WordPress with a few clicks on a hosted server, added posts and pages, copied and posted info from earlier site, and site was ready for public view within half a day; a few months later added a photo gallery and edited some content.
  • Blog and Wiki @ Nanyang Technological University: Tech support staff installed Expression Engine on one of the university's servers. Took me a few days to get familiar with the software's control panel, change the blog's theme, add posts, edit content and make the wiki's theme look like the blog's.
