Kristin Draeger’s Website Launches

Kristin Draeger's Personal Website

In addition to her educational sites, Kristin Draeger had the domain name: kristindraeger.com. She wanted to use this as a kind of portfolio site for her websites, books and anything else she may get her hands into in the future.

Kristin’s website, like all the sites here, including the one you are now on, was created with Artisteer, WordPress and my expertise when needed. Kristin wanted a basic site. This site is good for SEO with links to both her websites and books and pages about each. She has two more books that she plans to publish soon and these can easily be added to her books page. read more »

WordPress Amazon astore Websites Launch

The four sites: SCIENCEK12, LITERATUREK12, MATHEMATICSK12 and HISTORYK12 all incorporate WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System). Each site has blogging capabilities and the ability to add as many pages as necessary. The home page was specially programmed to handle Amazon’s astore and each site is loaded with a SEO plugin. read more »
