Hi everyone- sorry for the late notice but class is canceled today due to the power outage- we will reschedule with Daniel. Just work on your own sites from home before Wednesday.

This Wednesday (4/9): Show and Tell

For this Wednesday's class, be prepared to take 5 minutes to show your progress on your website. I'm not expecting them to be done – this is a "work in progress" showing. To help things move along, if your site is live, please paste a link into your "problem log" post so that we can jump directly to your site from the blog. If you have only been working on files locally, bring a drive I can plug into my computer.

We'll take a look at your site, and please share one cool thing you figured out - or one problem that was satisfying to solve.

Problem Log

(Week 1) I accomplished what I wanted to other than writing all types of descriptions. I like the editing layout and template of Squarespace much more than Strikingly too. So far no problems...

(Week 2) I worked on a design logo during both classes, uploaded a couple of varieties, and hated them all. After it all, I reverted back to the default text and liked it the most. I still want to work on hopefully creating a useful logo so it's still in progress but I aesthetically prefer the text over an image. I added more design structure and information but I still have a good amount to upload. I've also uploaded banner photos to the pages, some temporary until I can make better. I haven't worked on the tree diagram too much as the inputting information has taken longer than I initially expected. 

Problem Log

Last week, I had the chance to post pictures of Patzcuaro, add a navigation bar, and a picture header. I  will be adding a small description on every picture, so they audience know what they are looking at.

Piera's 3 Week Plan

Week 1 Mon 3/26 : move domain from sqarespace to cargo collective. - choose template. Weds 3/28 : Gather material including images and text. - create wireframe Weekend/On-going - make additional material for first issue Week 2 Mon 4/2 : make homepage. - use a single image. - design: viewers click on the logo, then enter the main site. Continue figuring out how to transfer domain... Weds 4/4 and beyond : create system of display. - focus on a unique layout. - start uploading material. Problem Solving Log: I thought Squarespace might work after all. However, I found their templates extremely limiting. I was nervous about switching to CargoCollective because I thought my url would be changed to .com instead of its original .org The .org url is important because this is an organized community that I'm developing. I've chosen a CargoCollective template to begin manipulating. I still need to take the appropriate steps to transfer my domain from Squarespace to Cargo.
