LINCOLN — Ella was all packed with nowhere to protest.

The 25-year-old Lincoln resident had planned a road trip halfway across the country in mid-September, ending in Zuccotti Park in New York City, the epicenter of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Then, at the last second, a serious snag: Her ride fell through. She wasn't going anywhere.

This is how Ella, an out-of-work artist and designer, came to be sitting in front of her computer one month ago today, frustrated and determined to do something to aid the embryonic protests.

This is how Ella, with the help of friends in Lincoln and Omaha, came to build and then run a wildly popular website that has helped to connect and grow the Occupy protests as they spread across the United States and the globe.
