Hang in there!

The utter frustration is totally understandable. But, it sounds like there is some hope of sufficiently undoing the ignorant draconian measures.

Also, you shouldn't have to use your home web page space for the school's benefit. They need to provide you with space that you can access remotely.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Well, I somewhat agree, but when I first came to work there I was forced to implement a lot of these solutions on my own. For a technical school, they didn't have much in the way of technical aids to learning. On the other hand, since it's my site (and I clearly state on the main page that it is not an official school Web site) I can organize it the way I want, including any links and/or content that I think is useful or fun without having to run it past the school's legal beagles. In addition, any content I create for the site (such as my tutorials) are mine and not the schools.

The school now has something of an online presence. I had to write a course for it last term and found it terribly restrictive.

I'm still pretty upset about this even a day later. It's not like I hate my job. I *love* my job. In fact, one of the reasons our campus was named 2003 Campus of the Year was because of the passionate attitude of our local faculty. After yesterday morning I thought some more about this and decided that another reason we won was that we had managed to either ignore, side-step or work around most of the directives coming down from Corporate.
