About this Site

This is the homepage of Brian J. McNely, doctoral candidate, researcher, and Assistant Director of the Rhetoric and Writing Studies Program at the University of Texas at El Paso. This site highlights my research, teaching, and academic consulting experience; for permissions or more information about any of the ideas or media found on this site, please do not hesitate to contact me at bjmcnely@miners.utep.edu.

This site was created primarily on an ASUS Eee PC 900 running Xandros Linux with a 16G solid state hard drive, using (almost)* entirely free web-based development and sharing tools. The fairly basic manipulation of a common tumblr theme, simple domain mapping, and tracking via Google Analytics allows this site to serve as an example of how social networking applications can be easily adapted for a variety of needs.

Unless otherwise noted, all images are my own, and can be accessed, dowloaded, and shared via Flickr.

*The primary domain registry was not free, but inexpensively obtained at godaddy.
