Okay, now this is getting ridiculous. Today will be our fifth day in a row without school. Yup, you guessed it: Tri County Area Schools called it off again.
In all fairness, the back roads in our district are mostly unpaved. Sarah and I visited my parents last night and we ran into some really bad drifted and slippery sections of road on our commute there, so I’m assuming that the county just hasn’t had a chance to get to all of the roads up by our school. But, still! Gee, whiz.
If anything, this long weekend has given me the chance to discover some cool things about WordPress, the software that our web site runs on. As some of you know, one of my little side jobs is serving as webmaster for the Michigan Council of Teachers of English. This past week, I’ve been spending a lot of time putting together its new web site. My goal was to create a web site that takes most of the control over updating content out of my hands and gives it to the “higher ups” at the MCTE (a person simply can’t do this with a regular web site). I’ve got to say that I’m thrilled with the results, so please check out my handiwork at: www.mienglishteacher.org! WordPress is just awesome software.
