Workshop:: Themes for CaringBridge


I will be hosting this workshop for students interested in volunteering their creativity and passion for a phenomenal cause. After using the site to keep up with friends and family struggling with illness and being a part of the CaringBridge staff last summer I would like to offer this experience to Stout students.

The workshop will cover how to create themes members can choose to use. This summer I created over 55 themes, and 10,000 members are using them. It's an overwhelming sense of pride and joy to know people are using something you designed to help tell their story.

Not familiar with CaringBridge? www.caringbridge.org
A CaringBridge website is personal, private and available 24/7. It helps ease the burden of keeping family and friends informed. The websites are easy to create and use. Authors add health updates and photos to share their story while visitors leave messages of love and support in the guestbook.

- Each day, over half-a-million people connect through CaringBridge.
- More than 1 billion visits have been made to personal CaringBridge websites.
- The CaringBridge community includes authors, visitors and/or donors in all 50 states and more than 215 countries/territories around the world.
