  • In Action

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

  • One Space

    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

  • Leaving Room

    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

  • Frame It!

    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

  • A Beautiful Day

    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

  • New Look for the Newsletter

    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

  • Tagged

    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

  • Verify

    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

  • Inspiring Big Thinking…and Giving

    We (The Office of Advancement) sent out this video last Tuesday, and I’ve hesitated to post it for several reasons, but here it is! While I’ve received great feedback about it, it was such a struggle! I had a huge “back to the drawing board” moment with this video after spending so much time on… Read more

  • Icons and Coding

    I decided to add our social media icons to the footer of our website, but I didn’t want them to appear on the home page, since they’re already prominently displayed there. But because our site is based on a CSS, there is a single file for the footer. Only web designers/developers can relate to the… Read more
