Wednesday

Sorry I haven't been journalling every day, but slow and steady progress is being made. Gallagher is installing the products I need, and I've disabled registrations.

Progress

The site is up on 8081, and all of the pages are there. All that's left is content and appearance. Heck, that's hardly anything!

TO DO

move content over from the "real" site

remove everything that will only get in the way, mostly login and registration stuff-- whoever needs an account can get it through the webmaster

add products for necessary functionality, like a calendar

redo Cox's design for Plone and put that on

And we're up!

http://yhspatriot.net:8081/yhsplone

That's the URL for the new version of the YHS web site, remade in Plone. Yes, I know it looks like a default Plone site, but underneath the surface is a lot of potential. More coming-- watch the site develop!

I know what this looks like. I swear, it's not what it looks like! Even when I've been ill, I've been Ploning around. I got an account on Freeplone, so I've got something to play with. Still nothing productive on the software front, but I've been mapping out a better yhspatriot. It's a profoundly broken site in terms of navigation. I want to heal it. I'm going to be harassing Gallagher to get plone.yhspatriot.net up.

Monday

Field trip Wednesday. Sick Thursday-Friday. I'm planning on kicking ass this week to make up for it.

Tuesday

Installed Plone.

Monday, October 1

Gutsy failed to install. Downloaded different version.

Planned development of Intro to IT site (font and back ends) with David Cox. The general idea at this point is a basically two-part site with a Plone backend-- the curriculum (a wiki?) and the student sites, which I've already discussed and shown a mockup for.
