Week 1 (or my eyes are swimming)
I've completed my 1st week of work, all done by telecommuting. The work has been tedious -- I've been updating the county service listings and directories in the 4people database, www.4People.org . In the process I learned a little bit of HTML and more about MS Word. Boy, are my eyes swimming!

My second week
Well, I'm completing my second week at Aspiration. Monday and Tuesday were very interesting as I got to listen to the free training session we hosted for non-profits. "Web Sites for Advocacy and Community Organizing: Basics, Essentials, and Best Practices". It was prepared by Gunner (from Aspiration) and David (from Radical Designs). I couldn't help but listen as it took place 20 feet form my desk. :-) It was incredibly informative and entertaining. We had about a dozen people here, and it seemed like everyone got a lot out of it. Meanwhile, I've been working on developing a test plan for the Social Source Commons website. I've been looking for free tools to use for link-checking and QA testing. I think I have a good plan, but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
