You may recall that I mentioned a large website project currently underway. While there is still some branding to be done, the websites are all in place and you can see them below. There is still much work to be done, but, as you can see, there are fifty brand-new websites specifically tied to the individual states. Given my work on the Best Online High Schools site and elsewhere, these are not sites that will be updated on a daily basis. I would like to be able to add something on a weekly basis, though.

I mentioned branding. Currently under development is a WordPress theme that is similar to the parent website. When that is done, then that will get uploaded to each of those sites. If you have worked with WordPress, you know that is actually a relatively simple task.

The URLs all look like <statename>onlinehighschools.com. Also, there are a few more coming, but they will have to wait.

The thinking behind this effort is to create a larger footprint in this niche of online high schools, but to also give folks a place to have information about their schools and the programs they have created. I will put up news and videos and such.

So, without further ado, here are the websites:

Alabama  Alaska  Arizona  Arkansas  California  Colorado Connecticut Delaware  Florida  Georgia  Hawaii  Idaho  Illinois  Indiana  Iowa  Kansas  Kentucky  Louisiana  Maine  Maryland  Massachusetts  Michigan  Minnesota  Mississippi  Missouri  Montana  Nebraska  Nevada  New Hampshire  New Jersey  New Mexico  New York  North Carolina  North Dakota  Ohio  Oklahoma  Oregon  Pennsylvania  Rhode Island  South Carolina  South Dakota  Tennessee  Texas  Utah  Vermont  Virginia  Washington  West Virginia  Wisconsin  Wyoming

I have been thinking lately what I have planned for 2010 in terms of writing and writing-related activities. Since I have a new day job that takes up a significant amount of time, I find that I need to pick and choose more carefully than I have in the past.

That being said, what can you expect from me in 2010?

• An update to the Best Online High Schools website. It’s time. That being said, that won’t happen until a couple of the things below happen first.

• A second edition of Complete Guide to Online High Schools. It is long-overdue and I can tell from my email that folks (both readers and schools) would appreciate an updated edition.

• A book to be named later. Yes, I already know exactly what it is and it is already in the works. That being said, there are people who read what I write who would like to copy those efforts.

• A big website(s) project. This I will be announcing in January. I think you may be a little surprised what I have gone and done. Trust me; you’re not alone.

Numbers 2 and 4 above are definite and the other two are hopeful. Add to that, my commitment to writing here on a regular basis and that seems enough.

Here’s hoping that 2010 is good for you. And, if you like, why not comment below on what you would like to do in the new year?
