Texas Beyond History website

September 15, 2016 By Valerie Lopez

Texas Beyond History was a project I worked on for some time during the Summer. There are hundreds of page that migrated from an old site that needed to be formatted correctly to the new wordpress site. The other STA’s and myself had to go into each page and fix anything that changed during the transition to the new site. This included, fixing the placement of images, checking for broken links, checking the text and captions of images, and more problems we later came across. The original site was made in 2001 and a script was made to move all the pages from the old site to wordpress however because the original sites used all kinds of different coding techniques, there were a lot of problems that had to be fixed within each page. During the summer I was able to format 47 pages. Each time, something new would need to be fixed and I had to go back to the ones I previously completed and fix the new problem in those too.

Example:
