City at Peace is now officially “The Possibility Project” Their new name reflects their growth and their evolving mission since the founding of City at Peace 16 years ago in Washington, DC, and the beginnings of their national effort in New York City 10 years ago. With their new name, they wanted a new web site and I was happy to be selected to set up a site using WordPress, of course. I say of course because WordPress is what I prefer to work with these days and has become my de facto standard for many reasons. You’re pretty much covered for SEO using WordPress, for one. With so many plugins written for WordPress a site can be extended to do almost anything you imagine. Not to mention the fact that WordPress is trully user-friendly, so web site owners can do a lot of updating themselves.
The new Possibility Project uses a plugin with a name that I love – Hackadelic Widget Voodoo. Go to “The Possibility Project” and click on the black sub headings in the sidebar to see it in action. And that’s not it! Pages throughout the site with a lot of text have sections or chapters that are collapsible, too, making for a very neat appearance and allowing a visitor to go directly to and only read what they want to without sifting through long pages. See an example on the Cities page. Thank you to Zoran, the author of this plugin for making both sections in the sidebar and on the page into “cool, collapsible, AJAX-type citizens”.
Visit the Gallery to see images from recent productions, original musicals and images from community action projects. Here you will see what The Possibility Project envisions – A society where teenagers are valued, respected and play a leading role in creating a better world. There are many ways to get involved such as volunteering, donating, attending a show, or joining the project if you area teenager in New York City or one of the locations with Possibility Projects.
After working hard on this site to have it ready for launching on August 2nd, it was gratifying to receive an email from Kelly thanking me and saying that the site looked great and that everything went smoothly.
