I have been creating Web pages since 1998, and below are several examples of my work:
The Odd Couple
http://www.oddcouple.info
Created by me in January 1998. Currently maintained by me.
My first experience in creating web pages, this is a fan site providing information about the television show, "The Odd Couple." I started it by using free Web space provided by Tripod.com. After the site became popular, I moved it to its own domain name, using advertising to cover the costs.
Western New York Mensa
http://wny.us.mensa.org
Created by me in February 2003. Currently maintained by me.
This is the web site for Western New York Mensa, the local chapter of American Mensa. It includes information for members and for other interested visitors. I used PHP to create server-side includes for the sidebar menu.

D'Youville College - Montante Family Library - Interlibrary Loan
http://library.dyc.edu/ill.html
Created by me in PHP in January 2007.
Converted to ASP by me in June 2008. Currently maintained by other library staff.
In January 2007, I made several contributions to the Montante Family Library website. The interlibrary loan service, which formerly accepted requests only via paper forms, now accepts requests online. For this new service, I created four PHP forms (one for each type of material), which send the request to the library via e-mail. When the library switched web servers in spring 2008, I converted the forms to ASP.
Ask Us 24/7
http://www.askus247.org
Maintained by me since May 2008.
At my current job, I manage the Ask Us 24/7 service. This site allows users to chat with a librarian, and it also provides information about the service for both the users and librarians. Users can also chat by visiting the website of a participating library.
Greater Amherst Women's Club
http://www.greateramherstwomensclub.org
Created by me in July 2009. Currently maintained by me.
Our club decided to stop having a printed newsletter and calendar, and instead just use a website. I used Drupal to create this site so that I could have an events calendar, blog for news items, and easy password-protected pages for members only. Additional Drupal modules have allowed me to automatically generate print-friendly pages, a feed of upcoming calendar events, and a listing of the 5 most recent news stories.
