I love this. It’s a screenshot (web view) of Trinity’s Instagram account, which changes regularly as the photos rotate. It’s been exactly one month since I posted the first photo and it’s actually grown a little faster than I’d expected, with 76 followers currently. Instagram is a funny animal. A few weeks ago, I mentioned… Read more

I must have played this song (“I Look to You” by Whitney Houston) 10 times this morning. It came on while my playlist was in shuffle mode and I just got stuck on it. There have been times when it’s played and I’ve dissolved into tears, especially during this part (the bridge). Today wasn’t one… Read more

Love these shots a co-worker took of me this morning. Thanks, Jedd! Read more

I have a confession to make…well two. Although I type fast, I was never taught how to type properly. I was never taught to put two spaces after a period (between sentences) when typing. After reading this article, I guess you can say I was just ahead of curve and didn’t know it? That’s what… Read more

I just finished the social media calendar for September. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since managing this aspect of Trinity’s online presence is to leave room to let things happen. This is the Facebook calendar for April…after April was all said and done. We officially launched our Facebook page on April 15, and… Read more

I just learned about the “frame” attribute! I’m pretty amazed that I’ve never had to use it in more than five years. Along with the new design for the online weekly newsletter, I also just redesigned the generic broadcast email template. As I kept reviewing it, it just looked blank. I was going for a… Read more

What a week! But this video was definitely a highlight. I was asked to produce it by our Director of Teaching & Learning, who saw a similar one done by a neighboring school. So on the first day of school, she and an assistant teacher took pictures and sent them to me (I only took… Read more

Around this time last year (August 15, to be exact), I wrote a post about tweaking some of the CSS elements of Trinity This Week, just to update the look a little. For today’s issue, the first of the school year, I redesigned it to be consistent with our new branding platform. I played with… Read more

I created this graphic for the first day of school (August 16). It’s another vector-based, “from scratch” graphic. I used Adobe Illustrator to create it, and I was so excited to post it first thing the next morning. While I was/am pretty biased towards the graphic itself, the true measure of success where social media… Read more

I received an update today from a Trinity alum through our Alumni Association Facebook page. It would have been so nice to just copy and paste, but there was so much information, that I felt it was only responsible to verify it all before publishing. Of course it all checked out, but it made me… Read more
