My new project is making a totally new website for NAUTY, a student-run organization at my university that organizes events promoting “greater cultural understanding and integration.”
Basically, they make the best on-campus parties.
The website has been pretty much inactive since 2006/2007 and my job is to bring it back to life. Hence, I’ve decided to move away from the static HTML pages that the website has been using and instead set up a blog that is both easier for administrators to manage but can also provide visitors with more up-to-date content with event announcements, photos, and more interactivity.
Not surprisingly, I will be using WordPress to power the website simply because I believe it is the best small-scale content management system out there. I will probably be designing an all new theme from Paul Stamatiou’s 281 WordPress template.
You can expect the website to be live sometime in mid to late April as I am currently having midterms and have no time to work for hours on designing. But once spring break rolls around, I’ll dive right in.
I welcome your views on what you would like to see on the new NAUTY website.

the santa one! :p
just put my pic everywhere.. thats all u need for promotions
santa tagline all the way
“If you’re naughty, Santa won’t visit you…If you’re NAUTY, you get free boo(ze)”
Only Adi (room525) could think of that.
Classic. I think you should use Adi as the mascot.
make sure you design it with style.
So is the ITSC WordPress implementation available to all flexible enough (http://blog.ust.hk/), or are you having to do a separate NAUTY instance?
Well it looks like the HKUST ihome server doesn’t have PHP installed and their MYSQL doesn’t let me make a new database or edit one so either I’ll have to host at blog.ust.hk (haven’t really looked into that one), talk to the guys at ITSC about whether they can install PHP and give me a database or host the website somewhere else altogether.
Thanks for the heads up on the UST iBlog server though. I honestly wasn’t aware of it.
SO WHEN IS THIS WEBSITE DONE HUH????!!!
