Project: Creating How To videos for people using WordPress

Completion Status: 50% Done

Staff Guidance: Stacy, Julie

Descriptions/Plans:

Me and Julie are going to be creating How To videos for any content creators, or admins, who will be making changes and updating their Labs or Conferences WordPress sites.

The biggest challenge is trying to record this all in a fairly noisy area. Otherwise they’re pretty simple to create.

The majority of the LAITS videos can be viewed here:http://www.youtube.com/user/UTLaits

Project: Created a plugin for all UT WordPress sites!

Completion Status: V 1.0 Done!

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Descriptions/Plans:

Back in the Fall semester, me and Stacy realized the problem with having a parent theme to host a lot of the Labs and Conferences sites, was that any changes made design wise to the parent theme, would effect all the sites across the board. Since that was a problem we wanted to avoid, with Stacy’s guidance I created a CSS plugin that would allow anyone on any child site (Labs or Conference) to change the CSS for that site only, without making changes to any other sites using the same theme.

At the moment, I’m going to work over the summer to get it listed the WP Plugins site, however, school and LAITS come first.
