SeanGardinier.com Initiated!
Posted by Sean Gardinier on June 9th, 2007
After moving my teaching site (MrG-Online.com) to its own server where I could host unlimited domains and databases, I decided that I should have my own domain with a personal blog for archiving my professional development. After testing out and researching several Content Management Systems using OpenSourceCMS.com, I decided to go with Wordpress for its simplicity, large support community, and adaptability.
At the same time, I registered and initiated CorreiaSeminar.com, a new teaching site that will be the portal for 7th and 8th grade gifted students at my school. CorreiaTeachers.com was also initiated to provide the staff at my school an online forum for communication and collaboration. Lastly, I registered MichelleGardinier.com for my wife. I installed WordPress for her as well.
A teacher colleague of mine was also interested in having his own domain. I helped him register his own site, JackVallerga.com, and decided to host and coach him along the way. He also has WordPress installed. Having some commonality amongst 4 of the 6 sites will make it easier for me learn and develop WordPress’ potential.
With all the web development excitement, another colleague has also made the transition to Wordpress. MrOzeni.com has left behind the days of static pages created in DreamWeaver for the relational database structure.
