Milestone 3

Design

I've created a new design for the site using darker colors. I redid the header so that it is shorter, allowing more room for content. It is also larger and more compact. I like the new darker color scheme better and think it makes everything look more together. Hopefully this will be the last template design change.

Some changes that I need to make include the overall design of the information (like the lists of your media, network, events, etc.). This will just involve some resizing to make it look nice. I would also like to redesign the events page so that once more events are there, it will not look weirdly positioned.

Coding

All of the basic elements work now. You can create an account, login, create an event, and add media to it. The images currently are not uploading, but all the logic is there. Hopefully once Alex and I figure out what is wrong with it it will be quick to just add to the events since the code for that is already there. Users can view their events, their network, and information about themselves. They are also able to delete their events and media, but not to edit them yet. The only features that are completely not working are the search pages.

As for the timeline, we have the basic feature working. There is a large div that includes many divs dynamically created depending on what years your events fall on. You can scroll through the timeline and see the events that happened in each year with the titles as links to the event page.

Testing/Populating

I have populated most of the site as far as content goes. There are still some little parts that need editing and reworking, but there are no blank pages anymore.

Testing is a little behind since we came across some glitches with the image upload. Alex and I are meeting after this milestone to see if we can fix those and I hope to have the link up tonight for people to start testing.

Promotion

I need to make my poster for the hall. Now that I have my new color scheme, I think it would be neat to do something with that. Dani has been working on my event board (which will be my biggest promotion) and I have been brainstorming events to put on that. It is hard to think of specific events, so I thought that maybe I could do some events that are vague and see what people have done at that time. Examples of vague events include: dinner at the commons on Wednesday night, your last birthday, the last time you ate at Pat's Pizza, or what you did on Thursday at 3:00 pm. Some specific events include: the Frozen Four, the most recent Kickin Flicks, or a music event such as Java Jive.
