Milestone #2
Missed the mark a tiny bit with this milestone, sort of pulled the old switch-a-roo.
Got a lot done on the website in stead of getting most of our pages written. Got some help from my peers (you know who you are) who helped me figure out how to post timelines and maps onto the website. So, thank you very much. Shane and I have a pretty solid layout for the website. We have what we think will be all of our tabs and pages. Figuring out what we wanted to put up and where sort of helped me figure out how to structure all of my writings from here on out. Shane posted he had a little trouble doing the page write-ups and I agree with him. We really want it to flow and be readily accessible to the general public so we are trying to stay away from what feels like a research paper that we copy and pasted onto our website. So, I feel the writing will just be a little trial and error. We’ll really want some feedback from our peers and professors about how readable the website is once we have some writings put up.
Otherwise, I believe it’s coming along nicely. As far as research, Shane and I wanted a combination of primary and secondary sources around 15 to 20 and I believe we have 16 or 17. Shane’s grandmother does landscapes of Berkshire County and she’s letting us use a few to post on the website. Like I said earlier, we’ve got all of our pages laid out, just need to make the website look pretty. Otherwise, I think the website is coming along well. For this milestone we wanted to have all of our write-ups done for the pages but instead we got a lot done on the website which feels pretty good, that was really the scariest part.
Feeling good about this milestone!
Hello Anthony,
Kailee and I are on the same page! Both of our projects are events that have happened some time ago, so our sole focus was on researching and gathering information. Now we have the time to work on our website, and so we are doing that first. Kailee and I have a lot of information that we do not want to overload our website either. We have to work on it as well. We have started a little bit on filling in information. I have tried pasting in information, and then checking the preview of the website to see if it looks like too much on the website. Good luck!
