The only project I’ve worked on of any note since arriving in country has been the Multi-National Force Iraq web site. I am the webmaster. While I perform other missions, including reporting activities, press escorts, etc. none of them will have any lasting impact.
Since I took over the web site administration, we have redesigned the product twice. The newest redesign is a dynamic multi-user site that is scalable and I hope professional looking. It should vastly improve our ability to deliver news and feature stories from the perspective of the coalition.
This project is the one thing I have done that here I’m uneqivocally proud of. It’s my attempt to improve efficiency and accuracy in telling our story. Telling our story is my raison d’etre.
This current redesign had six or seven people involved at the actual working level and many more involved in the creative process. It took us about five months from concept to inception. I hope it survives the test of time and helps us all tell the world our story better than we were able to before.
