Link: First OCRegister video you can play on Facebook Link: Video of surfing at the Wedge I worked with a video producer to change code in our Brightcove system so that people can watch our videos right on Facebook. Being able to post the videos on the Register’s Facebook page (that I maintain) lets people watch the video without going to OCRegister.com. Video pre-roll ads are still attached to the videos, when included.Read More →

As part of my new mobile and social position in the newsroom I led a collaborative effort to revise the Register’s disaster plan.

One of the main efforts with the new disaster plan was to make the Register’s coverage of every day and small breaking news coverage mirror the way we cover large wildfires and mudslides. Mirroring our disaster workflow with every day workflow will ensure more consistency and better preparedness among newsroom staff. We also adjusted the disaster plan to account for an increasingly mobileRead More →

And, I want the focus to be about why peopleRead More →

Link: Top things on ocregister.com in 2008 Part of the fun of being on the Register’s web team is finding gems of interest in web analytics. I was able to share that interesting information in a wrap-up of top content for 2008. In year’s past wrap-up coverage was always editor’s picks of the top stories. My article was a chance of showing the web side of things along with some reader picks such as the top stories dugg on Digg.com.Read More →
