Today we spent our class time working on our projects. Mr. Sampson spoke with each of us individually regarding our current progress and helped us with whatever he could. I had a few questions mainly regarding the gallery, which he was able to help me out with. I fixed the shadowbox options to have a continuous skip-style counter, as well as ended up with just one page for the gallery instead of two.
He also gave me a link on how to create your own WordPress theme, it turns out that we will be using WordPress to create any blogs our page might have/need. I didn’t end up working much on the blog page, since it seemed like my Sister ran into a lot of problems along the way. Mr. Sampson was able to help her out some, so I should just be able to ask her about any questions I might have while following through the guide for theme creation tonight.
Finally, Mr. Sampson gave me files that I could use for a “contact/submission” box, so I added that into my “contact” page. In order to view the contact from properly, we uploaded the page to the server; everything seemed to work fine for my Sister, but for whatever reason the coding had somehow altered the style for my “contact” page… I’m not entirely sure what happened, it seemed as if everything was in place correctly. I didn’t actually have time to ask Mr. Sampson about that today, so hopefully he’ll have time to help me figure out the problem tomorrow… >>;
