I am currently working with the Octapod Association in Newcastle to develop the CultureHunter.org website an arts and cultural website for the Hunter Region of NSW.

CultureHunter.org is being developed with Drupal.

Search the Hunter website now searches over 600 websites from the Hunter Valley Region of NSW Australia. An Events page has been added where you can see what is happening in the Hunter.

Basedow Information Systems also has a new look with a new webpage design.

While the Search the Hunter website had only been up and running for little over a month, the need for such a site and its real potential quickly became evident. I decided to upgrade the site (it is no longer using Drupal) from a simple directory to a search engine.

Search the Hunter now currently indexes over 20,000 pages from over 300 websites from the Hunter Region.

Search The Hunter is a new project I created to show off my skills. It is a simple directory of Hunter Region websites. The site needs more work but I feel is quite impressive for only a day or two''s work. The site shows the power of using a content management system such as Drupal over static pages.
