Derek Anderson’s Summary

I have spent the last seven years on the Internet. Following trends and reading, reading, reading. I have been blogging for the last three years and I love it. Running a blog/site is a borderline addiction for me. I'm thinking about it as I fall asleep and it's generally on my mind at least 50% of each day.

I have a good understanding of what people want from their Internet. I say "their Internet" because without them, the Internet would be pretty worthless.

Derek Anderson’s Specialties:

Widgets.
What are they? What is good about them? Who wants them? Where can I get them? How can I personalize them? How can I profit from them?

  Web widgets add fun, functionality and creative flair to your blogsite.
  
  Widgets generally consist of a small amount of code that you copy and then paste into your blog template.

Derek Anderson’s Education

• Elk River High School

  Diploma, computer programming, photography, graphic arts, 1986 — 1988

  I have plenty of undocumented experience with the internet and website editing. Unfortunately, people get discounted if they don't possess some sort of degree.
  
  I wonder how many really great innovators get left behind because of this.

  Activities and Societies:

  I enjoyed my drafting class if that helps.
