Citistates Group launches new CitiWire blogsite

Neil Peirce and colleagues at the Citistates Group, a long-time client, recently asked us to create a whole new site for them titled Citiwire.

Northfield web designer Sean Hayford O’Leary figured out how to use WordPress to implement Peirce’s vision for a side-by-side blog on the home page — blog posts displayed on one side or the other, depending on who the author is.

The Citiwire About page says:

citiwire-sshotOur mission… to reflect a new American narrative.

From a 20th century of cheap energy, endless automobility, burgeoning suburbs, threatened cities. To a challenge-packed 21st century: fast-rising energy costs, perilous carbon emissions, deepening have-have not divisions. But a time of exciting promise, too: rejuvenated cities, new citistate-wide consciousness, more protected lands, the most urban rail starts in a century.

Citiwire.net’s quest: to chronicle struggles, illuminate pathways to more vibrant, equitable, sustainable choices for grassroots America and citistates worldwide.

New blog site for the Brain Compatible Learning Network

BCL-sshot We’ve created a new blogsite for Wayne Jennings and colleagues at the Brain Compatible Learning Network.

It had previously been hosted as a set of pages on the affiliated ASCD site.

Northfield web designer Sean Hayford O’Leary worked with them on a design and I concentrated on coaching them on how to use the new features of WordPress.
