I’m baaaack!! Hey STA-ers, we’re finally back from Winter Break. So ready to start off Spring Semester!! After speaking with Suloni, it looks like for this month I’ll be working on learning how to use Cascade to help with faculty maintaining their pages. I’ll also be learning Canvasser and how to manage the assets to help with the VLabs!
So today I started the Cascade tutorials. Here’s my finished product.
Short blog post but there’s more to come 🙂
This week I was assigned to work on the WP pages for the Liberal Arts School Podcasts! My first task is to build desktop, tablet and mobile mockups for Stacy so we can decided on formatting and layout for the Podcast sites. He gave me an overview of the current site and explained how to add custom CSS to the WP pages. Suloni is giving me feedback on the mockups and I will create high-fidelity versions for her approval next week!
