Having built multiple websites during my MLIS program, I am being realistic with myself that going at a leisurely pace – this site will take eons to build to satisfaction. Okay perhaps a year or so before I am comfortable with its progress however, I would like to link and showcase some of the work that I have done.
Why reinvent the wheel eh?…
Okay but seriously, here are links to the following:
A WordPress site filled with an entire year’s worth of lessons, read alouds, club ideas, and more! This was 5 months of many many hours, but it came out okay and will definitely be of use for this upcoming school year:

This blog is tied to my SJSU student account at the moment… I am hoping to transfer it to this account but we shall see. It is dedicated to students experiencing homelessness and librarians who will work with them. It covers research, resources, and real-world analysis of what is being offered for my local community.

For inquiring minds, my entire School portfolio is on WordPress as well, however, I am not supposed to have it public. I will provide the link but it does require a request for access that I may or may not grant. For those looking to hire or whatnot… let me know and I will gladly let you peruse:

Note: It will say it is risky, it is simply HTML hosted on w3 Spaces I promise you will not get malware although this makes that seem all the more suspicious I suppose. Here’s a screenshot of my handiwork for those who fear the link.

As well as this which was my first introduction into managing WordPress themes, pages, etc. after building sites solely through hand-typed HTML, CSS, and a smidge of Java and PhP.

Now that I have presented my case, I will continue to build upon what I know. I can’t promise some things might look a little funky before I figure it out, and if you see an idea disappear or duplicate –
