Exercise in Futility

At the end of the school year, I requested a database so I could convert our school’s site to WP. I didn’t hear anything, but I figured I was in no rush since I had to come up with a good layout and design. Well, today I finished it (and it looks spectacular, if I do say so myself). I emailed the tech people to get my database and was promptly told that they are buying some package for all the schools to use and I can’t have a database. Seriously,I’ve worked hours on this and though I know it’s my fault for not having the database from the start, I had no reason to believe it would never come through. Also, WordPress is free…and relatively easy to learn. Instead, we’ll have some FrontPage-type application, or worse.

I’m just really sad that I’m not going to be able to do the site afterall. I’m really not interested in stepping down to a Fisher-Price level and I don’t want to get involved with something like Joomla, which is what they’re using at their office. Shucks. Anyone want a really good school site theme?
