Meg's Problem Log, 3/31

Problem Log: Portfolio Website March 31, 2016 Updated published work page with all new publications. Need to revise bottom of home page with “Latest Work” options. Possibly make it update as I post on the blog automatically?   Solution: Can’t find a tool that auto-populates, did find a larger carousel that I thought had the ability, paid 12 dollars, no luck. Looks like I have to update it myself. Look for examples of journalist blogs. Found: http://heatherbrooke.org Blog of investigative journalist http://www.theatlantic.com/notes/ Blog posts by Atlantic reporters, tagline is “First thoughts, running arguments, stories in progress” https://www.journalism.co.uk/news/50-blogs-by-journalists-for-journalists/s2/a551846/ A whole list of blogs created by journos http://thedailyjournalist.com/pen-and-pad/100-best-blogs-for-journalism-students/ “100 best blogs for journalists” Ideas: Commentary or rehash of news topics Updates on research or interviews Tahoe-related news topics Pop culture...

Meghan Herbst - Portfolio Site To Do List: Update site with Moonshine Ink, Tahoe Housing Timeline  Moonshine Ink, Out of Reach Tahoe Quarterly, Real Estate Snapshot Eagle's Eye Houseless in Tahoe Incorporate data visualizations, Google Fusion tables Develop the blog portion, behind the scenes stuff Problem Log: Created new headers for "Published Work" and "About Me" pages, attempting to resize to fit width of website. Found I was able to tinker with position, but resized in Photoshop to several magnitudes lower, with no change on the website.  Moved all stories from static "Published Work" page to blog-style "Published Work" page and deleted the former.

http://travelingtahoe.weebly.com To do: Use Google My maps for main map on site Write new stories (Donner Tunnels, Crystal Bay Border) Map of places visited with stars Add thumbnails to Blog Posts Improve front page Tinker with layout of Photos Page Add more people to the Crew page and their information. Problems: Was unable to set up thumbnails with blog posts so I made a separate page for articles. I built a man posting page that could lead to the articles in my new page.

http://nickgalantowicz.com The to-do list: Homepage - different photo treatment Less open space in header area Journalism section - start with strongest pieces Marketing section - make it Marketing and Multimedia , talk about sports webcasting Fix illustration work, explain what logos were for Include Resume and CV in Contact (also in navigation) Mostly all the issues I've run into when developing my site have to do with the css customization feature within the wordpress website builder. Looking through the source code is cumbersome.  Once reviewing div code, it's hard to find what css classes or attributes are manipulating the specific thing I'm trying to customize.  If i found the class or code I wish to customize, then its guessing and hoping I'm placing the correct syntax in the css field.   So, it's three very time consuming tasks to just manipulate one thing, like the header image size. I tried placing or using a FTP patch to my websites source code into dream...
Andrew Clifton March 21, 2016 Difficulties Building the Website: I have decided to use Wordpress as a template for building my website. When beginning the first steps of my Nav Bar I had trouble adding new sections. Also, I still have not solved the problem of figuring out how to center the Nav Bar.
