All About Michelle

First Name: 
Michelle
About Me: 

I'm a stay at home mom to two boys, one 3.5 and one almost a year. 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.

A little courtesy on the roads, please?

Community: Coulee Region
Posted June 13th, 2008 by Michelle

I was almost in a bad car accident today. I was coming back from West Salem and turning left to go into Woodmans. I had a green arrow and was turning into the left lane. Since I had a green arrow, I assume oncoming traffic had a red light. One of those folks was turning right to go to Woodmans as well.  Read more »

Welcome to my guestbook. Please leave a message.

Michelle - just wanted to say HELLO and of course THANKS and maybe even be cheeky enough to say XXX

I've been playing with your Advanced Forum Module for the last couple of days and have rolled it out live (*gasp*) onto 2 websites so far...

Great stuff, your efforts are much appreciated!!

Cheers.

Hello Michelle,

Just checking out your latest work. Currently trying to get my hands around Drupal after using Mambo and Joomla for so long. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, MrKhay! Glad you like it. Smile

Michelle
