During 2008:

• I Moved from the Technical and System Co-ordinator post to Senior Web Developer at Great Yarmouth Borough Council. With the former I was involved in the operation and maintenance of the LED Broadcasting Screens, DMX lighting products and the development and management of some tourism web sites. With the latter, I have technical responsibility for delivering and developing the web services that the Council provides.
• I assisted in creating a full-time web team to support the online services that the Council provides.
• I developed my skills and knowledge at an unprecedented rate in a relatively short period of time.
• I started my BSc (Hons) in Information Communications Technologies with the Open University as well as achieving ITIL Foundation certification. I have also completed a number of short courses related to the Open Text Live Link WCM Presentation Server CMS and the .NET 3.5 Framework.
• I began the replacement and redevelopment of the corporate web infrastructure and website - this is progressing well and provides an excellent foundation and framework for future developments and online services.

During 2009:

• Move house!
• Complete the first phase of the new corporate website, launching a public beta in the first quarter of 2009, prior to going live. I will also continue to develop and integrate new and improved services into the website.
• Aim to ensure the new Corporate Website starts and remains in the top 10 of Local Government Websites benchmark provided by Sitemorse.
• Continue my support and development of the Flegg High PE ONLINE website.
• Continue my personal development through self learning, experience and, if possible, further short courses.
• Continue my study with the Open University. If possible, I would like to start three, 30 credit courses this year.
• Continue my Open University Study Journal and write frequent posts about the new corporate website among other posts.
• Aim to make greater use of Social Media tools, primarily Twitter.
• Look to implement some GTD methods into my working practice to increase my productivity.
