Week4 Blog Post

September 20, 2021 By Asmita Karmakar

Hi everyone! This was what I worked on for the past week:

Project: Blanton Website Migration
Client /Prof: Blanton Museum
completion status: started work on August 23 and still continuing
staff guidance: Ruben Garza
STA team members: Marianne, Angie
description/plans: Work on migrating the current Blanton museum website pages to the WordPress site

I continued working on the Blanton project with my main focus being on the exhibition pages. I copied over content from the Blanton’s past exhibition pages, it was fairly simple because they all had the same layout for the most part.

Here is an example of one of the exhibitions:

I learned how to add more complicated blocks like 360 virtual tours.

And to do this I got more familiar with the inspect tool and iFrames.

Again, it was a lot of copying and pasting.

I also attended a meeting on Thursday with Ruben, Suloni, Estella, Marianne, and Angie discussing the project and next steps, and while I really appreciate the opportunity to be working on this project and am thankful to be apart of the team, I am also excited to take a little break this week and switch my focus to a new project for a Professor and learn more about Grav (which Estella is kindly giving me a tutorial on today).
