The Public Internet Channel – pic.tv

The Public Internet Channel is a public-purpose network of writers, producers and directors that create videos, series, blogs and tools.  Many of the sites are managed through a WordPress multisite istall managed by One Economy Corporation, and use a default base theme that I helped create.  In order to scale to leverage sites that were on the platform and others that were not, my team created a customized RSS aggregator in Drupal, and leveraged our own API to place customized lists on our WordPress-run sites, as in the main hub site at pic.tv.

MyFreeTaxes

MyFreeTaxes is national campaign designed to empower low and moderate working families and individuals to access free tax services online at home, at a community center, or with the help of a nonprofit partner. In preparation for the 2012 tax season, I led the charge for the One Economy web team on the migration from the hand-coded PHP site myfreetaxes.com to WordPress in order to better support multiple editors, multiple audiences, and Spanish localization. Along with leading the web team through a set of complex campaign requirements, I facilitated training and support for internal and external contributors and content managers.

Public Internet Channel Theme – 9ine

The Public Internet Channel is a public-purpose network of writers, producers and directors that create videos, series, blogs and tools.  Many of the sites are managed through a WordPress multisite install managed by One Economy Corporation, and use a default base theme that I helped create.  The theme was designed specifically to handle the business needs of standard blogs, but also episode-oriented video shows.  One example of a show site using this theme, is 9ine, a Telly Award winning drama that chronicles nine months in the life of soon-to-be teen parents.  Roles included product manager to support business needs of the theme, and the specific sites, including the Spanish version of 9ine, found at 9ueve.
