The idea behind the group:
Our club was created in an attempt to preserve and develop an interest in creative writing and literature at a school traditionally focused on technical studies. Particular group participant interests have ranged from genres of modern poetry to science fiction novels. We would like to support the WPI community in all of it's literary efforts. Future plans of the group include a weekly writing workshop focused on solving common problems in writing and the weekly feature of the work of a published writer and artist.
When it was time to redesign one of the sites, I got an idea about making a standard design that all of my sites could use and make some kind of official link network between the sites. My way of doing this turned out to be the use of toptabs (for selecting a website) and navitabs (for selecting subsections within the different sites). With a basic PHP template, all sites can have the same design and share the same toptabs - but they can have their own separate content. The final touch to it would be to give each site a color scheme of its own. The personal site has blue colors, the company site is green, the artist site is red and so on.
Meeting info: If you are interested in joining or learning more about our organization, feel free to attend one of our meetings. We generally meet every Tuesday throughout the academic term from 7PM to 9PM in the Peterson Room on the third floor of WPI's Campus Center.
