Week 14

14 going on 30

  JULY 18th – 21st

 

I did CSS training using the Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement Study website. I drafted some new designs in Figma and began applying my ideas by editing the site’s CSS files. My end goal is to redesign the website and configure its responsiveness for mobile devices.

 

 

I encountered a setback while working on my website design. The initial concept I had in mind for the navigation menu didn’t align properly with my plan user responsiveness. Although it was a setback, I am determined to overcome this challenge and ensure that my website meets the desired expectations.

I began adding content to the From Slavery to Freedom in Texas Project website. After contacting the team of professors from UT and Prairie View, Marianne and I began inserting the story content they provided us with using the layout designed Luisa. I was introduced to Figma and WordPress’s Toolset plugin.

Week 11

ocean’s eleven

  JUNE 27th – 29th

 

I completed some Google Analytics tasks using Airtable. I was assigned to extrapolate data for all of the university’s websites by projecting the total number of user sessions over the course of a year. I originally calculated by hand, but ran into many mistakes, so I decided to optimize my workflow using Chat GPT-3. I began developing a Calculator Prompt for GPT. Once complete, it will allow me work at a more efficient pace while also providing accurate results.

I also met with Stacy and LAITS Desktop Support for some training using WordPress’ user interface. After the meeting, I forwarded screenshots via Slack to help Desktop Support walkthrough any further questions they had.
