  <body>This is the website I made for the Bennington Free Press, my college's newspaper. Although there is nothing nerdier than being part of the newspaper staff, I found this project to be my favorite; a derivation off of the portfolio builder setup, I made this system with the following features:

* Issues having a belongs_to relationship with Articles
* Flip-button changes for updating the entire website from the previous issue to the current one
* Site-wide search for all articles
* Ajax search for administrators
* Various user accounts and levels
* CSS layouts powered by the database for making an issue look nice for any given page.
* Thumbnail images linked to articles.

This project took me the better part of two weeks, and was probably the fastest turnaround on a project I've done. The site will soon have other features that I will get to in later months, namely layout optimization, SEO optimization, W3C compliance, more beautiful bouncy ajax setups, and some UI tweaking
