    I do web development (front- and back-end) for www.denverpost.com. It's a mix of database, Python and PHP work, site troubleshooting and QA, and front-end CSS / HTML work. Every once in a while they let me write an online poll for the site.

    This is where I learned to do web stuff. I designed site templates, did the HTML and CSS to make 'em work on the web, and built the back-end CMS' to administer the information. Also I handled sales, other freelancers, and the accounting side of the business. There were plenty of hats to wear here and I learned from each of them.

Joe Murphy’s Honors:

I built a database-driven site that took a state database on home healthcare violations and organized it in a way that was useful to people. It won two awards: an Online News Association award for Service Journalism, small sites and an Editor and Publisher award (EPPY) for Best Internet Community Service Effort under 1 million unique monthly visitors. Woot.
