About Michelle
I'm a stay at home mom to two boys, one 4 and one almost two. I've lived in the Coulee Region since moving out here to go to UWL right after getting married in 1995. We originally just came here for school, but my husband found a job here and we ended up staying. I really like the area, and I think it will be a great place to raise our kids.
I've been online since using BBSs back in the 80s and 90s and found the internet around 1993. It wasn't long after that I got into building websites for fun, though I never did much with it until recently. In 2005, I found a CMS called Drupal that is just awesome. Using a CMS is 100 times better than doing sites from scratch. I've used it on a bunch of hobby sites as well as a little bit of freelance work here and there. My kids keep me pretty busy so freelance is very part time. Once they're older, I hope to be able to work from home building Drupal sites.
Interests
My main hobbies are computers and photography. I've been using computers since I was a teenager in the '80s and have been fascinated by the web since I first stumbled on it around 1994. I've putzed with web design since 1997ish but only got really serious about it a couple years ago when I was pregnant with my son and wanted to make a family page. Since then, I've been actively learning and hope to make a business of it some day.I also really love photography, though I don't have a lot of time for it between chasing a toddler and working on sites. I started doing mostly nature but got interested in children's photography when my son was born. Most of the photos I do are of my son or friends' kids these days. I had toyed with the idea of making a business out of photography but I decided I really want to keep it a hobby.

Michelle @Canar Me? I doubt you'd know them unless you were in either St Louis, San Diego, or Sheboygan. The BBSs were all local, not that big. 7 weeks ago |

Canar » Michelle Right now I am addicted to playing with Drupal. I wish I had some programming background. I am looking for a good tutorial on views and pages. I figure that will be a good place to start right now. 7 weeks ago |
