First Post

As you can see from the name of this blog I am Adam Murphy. I figured that I would start my own blog. My family has a blog but we do not use it very much any more. We mostly use ourmurphlife.com to post pictures and share family news.

I wanted to get my own blog going to share my thoughts about the world, the Web and intrests that are unique to me.

I work at Washington State University and today my firt big project went from Beta into production. This is a big deal since I invented, and wrote the way the system works. As far as I know we are the only university and maybe the only institution that has utilized dynamic CSS to create a instution wide template management system.

If you are interested in taking a look at the way the system works take a look at web.wsu.edu. The part that is the coolest is the Template Designer. Follow thru the process of designing your own look and feel by selecting the colors and images that are used for the site. The changes that you select will happen in real time and be reflected on the current page. When you complete all the steps you can take your design key and paste it into a generic HTML file that I provide and your HTML file will then take on the look that you choose in the Template Designer. It is pretty neat. The system is catching on really fast and people are enjoying the ease of designing pages with the new tools.

Well that should be all for now. Only four more weeks till graduation!

Go Cougs.
