The goal was to tranform the written document into a website that newly qualified and trainee teachers could access from anyway.

I built the site in Wordpress, and based its design on the theme The Unstandard Remix 1.0 by Jon Gos and Derek Punsalan and The Unstandard by Derek Punsalan for 5thirtyone. It also employs a few plugins, including Customize Your Community, Live Comment Preview, Multi-page Toolkit, ShareThis and WP-Polls.

The comments section was edited to promote users to supply additional advice or suggestions of content to add in an attempt to take advantage of the Web as a setting for living documents.
