My wife is amazing. She works hard as a secretary for a non-profit organization, and does far more than her share of the house work. Lately, however, she has become interested in web design, and when the agency she works for switched over to a new ISP recently, the person who had been doing the web design decided he would no longer be involved.

So my wife volunteered. Originally, there was only maintenance of the "news" page, which consisted primarily of data entry and FTP'ing the updated page. Then, the agency decided to add a whole new section of coverage. The challenge became one of adding new content, consistent with the look and feel of the remainder of the site, and adding new graphic content to existing pages without messing up those pages. She jumped into it eagerly, and with some patience, a minimum amount of instruction, and lots of practice, she began to achieve results that were consistent in quality with her predecessor. Her greatest achievement, the one that has brought her the most satisfaction, is being responsible for designing the artwork and layout of the newest portions of the site: the Jubilation Celebration, and the accompanying sponsor page.

In tribute to my wife's hard work, I've decided to post a link to her organization's website here.
