Introducing icseniorweek.com!

I’m happy to announce the recent launch of icseniorweek.com. This site is the central hub for everything related to Ithaca College’s Senior Week for the Class of 2009.

Thanks to my friend Shane Pisko introducing me to WordPress.org, icseniorweek.com is based on WordPress 2.7.1 and includes some pretty neat features. One of my favorite features is the EasySMS plugin and widget. This easy-to-use widget allows users to sign-up for free text message updates (standard carrier charges may apply). The main purpose for this is to send out text message blasts each day of Senior Week to remind attending seniors of the daily event(s). When developing the site, we figured that most seniors will be out and about enjoying Senior Week and that the easiest way to reach them is via their mobile phones.

Other neat features includes a randomized color palette that changes with each page redirect or refresh, a widget (ICS Calendar) synced to the Senior Class’s Google Calendar, and just the overall architecture of WordPress.
