I haven’t done a very good job of keeping track of the time spent on the site for the last two weeks. I know I’ve spent a lot of time, just not exact… I’ve been so focused on getting the blog entries edited, and finding and uploading the photos to complete the articles. But around 11:45 pm last night the last entries were completed – yay!
In our presentation, I took note of suggestions made by classmates and have made changes to the site accordingly. The letter spacing of the font has been adjusted so things aren’t so squished. I’ve added padding to the content area to align the text with the slider module. I have increased the timing on the slider module to make it less distracting, however; I can’t make the module loop. I finally found the CSS for the slider module to adjust the background colour of the module so it is the same as the wrapper colour (this took a LONG time!). I’ve also lightened up the header so it is not so dark and heavy.
I’ve worked on getting a better WYSIWYG editor installed to make editing of the articles and uploading images easier for the client. This was put into use for editing the last two dozen blog entries; uploading and adding photographs to those entries as well. I have also set up the search function on the site and it is working correctly.
This week, I also downloaded the comments modules and got that set up (that I know took about 3 hours to do site visitors can comment on the individual blog entries. I’ve also been doing some user testing on the site to see if there are any issues that need to be resolved. The group will be doing further testing once the e-commerce function is a little further along (this should be occurring early next week after our meeting with the client on Monday).
I still need to install and set up the social media sharing functions to distribute the blog entries to the client’s Facebook page and Twitter account. And finally (well, probably not finally 
) there will be the client training and manual to produce!
I’m feeling very optimistic that we are getting this project done on schedule. Whew!
