Official Site of BCLP?

This is the website that I have created for Barangay Computer Literacy Program. A program of the City Government of Pasig that offers free computer training for its residents. Yes, I'm part of it. I'm one of the computer instructor of BCLP.

This log is just the story behind what made me create this website, and not about the BCLP itself. For more information regarding the program, feel free to visit www.bclp.site50.net.

Ok, so what made me decide to create this website...? This programs was established 1999, and has been a great help for Pasig City residents who want to learn computer. Especially to college graduates that are not computer literate or just wants to know more about the current technology. For eight years, this program continues to grow, and it now offers four different levels officially. Advanced levels that are included are web page design and Photoshop. But I am wondering, because for so many years, this program do not have any online presence. "Naturingang Computer Training Center... walang website...".

One time, the City Government of Pasig held an exhibit that showcases the different office in its City Hall. So, as part of that, our office (BCLP) is also one of the participants. On a meeting with all the BCLP instructors, we talked about the preparation for that upcoming exhibit. One of my co-instructor volunteers himself to create a program that will showcase our service. He called it "Interactive Information Kiosk". So as part of the team, I asked him about the detail. I asked him what application he will use, what programming language or script, what will make it "Interactive" and on what form will he published that so called "his program". Although he is answering with so many words, the informations are not clear. It's like, he does not know what he's saying.... so I cleared it myself until we came at the decision to create a website that are installed on a web server on a local computer to be displayed on the exhibit.

But it doesn't ended on that, the website should also be published on the web. The problem is, no one knows how to do that except for me. So I accepted the responsibility on creating the BCLP website for free even if it is beyond my duties and responsibilities as a BCLP Instructor for the sake of that exhibit. "Napasubo na 'ko..." I only have a week to develop the website. To finished the website in a short period of time all by myself, I decided not to optimized the images to be used. Just before the exhibit, the www.bclp.site50.net goes online and can be viewed using different web browser.
