  • Met with Constanze about the website. She wants a word cloud as an alt to, as opposed to a replacement of, the current flash navigation. She wants two items (cf.) removed from the flash navigation. She wants a link to the live maps from the front page of the website. She may want the old gradient back–she said she’d contact Suloni about this. She cannot export into a .csv file.

Iron Age Celts

  • FINISHED coding all of the pages into PHP/CSS. Left one or two tables that are actually tables.
  • Started error-checking.
  • Scheduled meeting with Constanze about what she wants now that the site is, more or less, finished. She probably still wants interactive maps. I may need to change a couple things on the start page flash depending on if she wants to continue using it or wants to replace it with a word cloud. Need to find out if she expects me to make new pages for her for the images I made. Need to check on status of EndNote for Christine (do I just need to see if she can export into .csv?) Hopefully she’s okay with the new design. Anything else?

Iron Age Celts

  • coding, coding. Going quickly.
  • I don’t know what to do about this.
  • Or this.

1/27/09

Iron Age Celts

  • Made a gradient for left and right sides of IAC page because Constanze didn’t like black background. Firefox doesn’t support 2 background images. Searched teh interwebs for a work-around. Found a couple interesting ideas. So far none of them work. Kelsey had an interesting idea, which was to make a background image of the gold-to-black L-C-R gradient, tile it vertically, and position it in the center of the page and set the background to gold. The caveat to this is that large monitors will have a lot of gold and small monitors might not see any.

UPDATE: I’m a freaking genius

  • got a few more pages of the site properly formatted into css

1/21/09

Well, it appears I forgot to update my wiki the last week of last semester. Oh well.

10/15/08

Iron Age Celts

  • went back and fixed most of the images that were fluidity-impaired. Said images would overlap other images and text, move vertically during browser size adjustments, or both. Second problem took me a while to figure out, but was an easy fix once I did. First problem is not totally resolved:
dev.laits.utexas.edu/ironagecelts/flagons.php (also Heuneberg)
dev.laits.utexas.edu/ironagecelts/glauberg.php
I’ve looked for ways to make images wrap to the next line in CSS, but haven’t found anything.
I don’t even know where to start with the glauberg problem.
  • Where is Christine?

SIGN UP FOR CAKE WEDNESDAY!

10/10/08

  • practiced with illustrator for a bit. Not totally pleased with this, but it’s a start.

10/8/08

Iron Age Celts–

  • More o’the same! Images are misbehaving in a new way every day.

10/1/08

Iron Age Celts –

  • I’m still brute-forcing my way through image positions, but making progress and learning new tricks. Last week I was almost finished with “g” pages. This week I’m only on “h,” but there’s about n+1 pages that start with h, so it’s not so bad, especially since I had to re-do some stuff I’d already done to make images a uniform size.
  • I edited an image to make it un-pixelated in the thumbnail. I’m fairly pleased with the way it looks now.
  • Misc.–
  • Today I taught basic HTML to a couple of guys who oversee the Indigenous Studies website. It was fun. I like teaching. I also set up a backup folder of all of the files in the website just in case something goes wrong. Back when I was learning HTML, something ALWAYS went wrong. Usually it was from not closing a tag.
  • I have a test in History of Ancient Philosophy tomorrow. Wish me luck!!
