Every semester, I clone a clean version of my syndication hub which is already preloaded with theme, plugins, and custom code that I need to make it work. I’ve systematized the process of preparing for the next batch of PR Pubsters. Students are writing between 250-500 total blog posts per class per semester. I’m a data pack rat so I’m always thinking about the long term.Īt the heart of every course site has been the blog feed powered by the FeedWordPress plugin. The point being that I’ve known good and well that no CMS is in for the long term. I should also mention that Kin Lane has been a major inspiration in helping me see the benefit of static sites. I got interested in archiving a bit more while visiting Middlebury College last Fall where they’ve started a project out of their library to preserve student web work at the request of students.

Once upon a time, it started as a blog feed, morphed into a full open course, vacationed for a summer on the Jekyll CMS, and is now more integrated with Canvas, our LMS. The story of Pubs is an epic one with many twists and turns. Thus, in May I made it one of my summer goals to rework in such a way that both narrates and preserves the history of the course and the space.
For the most part, people know as the homepage for the course, but I haven’t actively used that space for a few semesters. Over the years, my main course web project, PR Pubs, has became one sprawling beast.
