News website management: FleaMarketZone.com

I worked from April 2010 to September 2011 at Sumner Communications, launching FleaMarketZone.com. It's a new site for people who own and manage flea markets, and for the vendors who sell merchandise at them. The economy has been rough on the vast majority of retailers, but the flea market business (like the dollar store business) is doing very well, as it turns out. In a down economy, people who offer bargains are king, and the best bargains going can be found at flea markets.

I have helped design the site, create the graphics and layout, and make the site a real news source and online community for business people at flea markets and swap meets. Here are a few notable posts from my first months:

• Flea markets build community ties with health fairs
• Flea market beats music giant Sony in copyright suit
• One moving flea market dislodges another
