End of the Year Update

December 20, 2010 By Dustin Butler

Blink Tag html - http://www.blinkingtextlive.com

Between wrapping my semester up and trying to meet a deadline that kept moving, I’ve neglected my STA wiki…BUT…now that’s changed. Here’s everything I’ve been up to in one post!

 

  • Hans C. Boas bio page WP redesign
  • What I’ve been up
    • making requested changes by Dr. Boas and uploading new content. I think, since we have missed the original pressing deadline, to focus on the wordpress theming. Once that’s up he can add the content, which he knows very well and can get correct.
  • WHATS LEFT
    • Email Hans Boas and let him know that I recommend focusing on wordpress
    • Convert static website (http://laits.utexas.edu/sta/dustin/boas/home.html) to wordpress (http://sites.la.utexas.edu/hcb
    • change/modify link color
    • add footer navigation
    • add requested images to bio page
    • add a background color add images to research focuses
    • reorder undated publications
    • add links to publications
    • tighten white space
  • STA wiki: front page layout redesign, nav redesign, add archived STA pages
  • What I’ve been up to
    • Between this, Henri Michaux and Dr. Boas I haven’t had time to work on this

    • change link color
    • change type color
    • migrate old STAs over
    • Modify left side bar menus to be ordered by year and STA names expand once a year is selected
  • Henri Michaux poetry video project
  • What I’ve been up to
    • AJ helped me export the file and I sent it to Mike.Unfortunatelythe video was 3 minutes short. I can fix that, no problem there, but the time to render the scrolling effect takes 3 hours and the export process takes 3 hours. Not a big deal just sad day because I wanted the video file on it’s way over break
  • WHATS LEFT
    • Match video to narration and share with Mike
    • Export landscape as a scrolling
    • Received synced video from Mike and sync with scrolling landscape
  • light box implementation & client tutorial:www.utexas.edu/depts/french/web/cauvin/
  • What I’ve been up to
    • Added lightbox effect and styled to fit within existing color scheme to the Grotte de Lascaux section (http://laits.utexas.edu/sta/dustin/cauvin/preh/index.html)
  • What’s Left
    • Add the lightbox code to the rest of the images
    • Upload modified site to /french/web/cauvin
    • Meet with Christine and show her how to make changes and add the lightbox effect
  • Deutsche Kultur
  • What I’ve been up to
  • Met with Dr. Swaffer and allowed her to add content
  • What’s left
  • Meet with Dr. Swaffer once I return from break and go over changes
  • Add videos and lightbox effect to it
  • Create a new header

  • What I’ve been up to
  • Nothing much to this. Not sure the direction the project will take so I’ve been waiting.
