Kristina Daniele

Founder and Lead Designer/Developer

I am not usually in the forefront of the projects that I take on. I work kind of like Oz (without the really cool songs, costumes, enhanced voices, or dances and of course- I am real). I began blogging in 2003, but my experience in web design, online writing, and social networking began a lot earlier with a little creative writing personal website hosted on Geocities (before Yahoo purchased it and it became overly commercial and difficult to navigate).

I’m a Techno Geek: I speak HTML, CSS, PHP, and other geek languages including English.  As a HS English teacher (MST- Fordham University)  I put my technology skills to good use designing and developing the newsletter and logo for my school’s Business Program and the newsletter for the school’s Media Program.  I was also the resident techie and built the school’s Professional Development registration system and various educational workshops. I have also worked on design projects for ESPN and BSM Media.

I Know Cool People:  I have worked with various authors such as Anastatia Clark, Niki Giovanni, Pamela June-Kimmell, and many others. In fact, when Anastasia Clark published her first collection of poems, “Skeletons and Other Complaints,” she asked me to write one for the reviews featured on the back cover of the book (OK, so that last line was added simply because I thought it was cool and not because it actually helps to prove my point).

I’m a Work-at-Home Mom:  In 2008, I decided to take a leave of absence to work from home (aka spend countless house on Facebook and following Twitter streams) while homeschooling my pre-school aged daughter. My main blog,  Mom on the Rise, focuses on the struggles of being a working mom. I am a Purex Insider and have worked to help promote the fundraising efforts of General Mills, Shoprite, March of Dimes, and DonorsChoose.org through the use of social networking sites.

I am also a March of Dimes Mom contributing a monthly column which provides information regarding different aspects of pregnancy.

I write for Examiner.com as the NY Homeschooling Examiner, TravelingMom.com, and am the co-founder of the We of Hue Network (currently in development) and the Moms of Hue blog focusing on helping women of color become more noticeable as vocal and powerful consumers.
