Week 13 - One of the Last Updates.

Hours: 5-6+

Haven't had a chance with updating the diary what with end of semester and lots of things happening that unfortunately had to take priority because they were due first.

Typed up presentation notes and set up powerpoint last week.
Also looked up and jotted down notes for the plant database, ready to be added to the site.

I went back and removed all the links that Peter originally thought up and added a Success Story section.

The site now is finally up and running in it's final form - Peter ended up doing a flash intro thing to the site, which I'm not sure about but I really don't want to be fiddling too much more with the site - given the time and day.

I had gotten the divider images, the updated map - all this was added along with a new styling stuff (especially for the links - which I wasn't too happy with either and it now comes out underlined and the same yellow as the banner). I added all the plant database information I found and styled it.

Our design page is up - I also created an email address for us in hotmail: p2_designs

Peter also changed the colors of the banners to fit with the 4 seasons - but I'm not too happy with some of the colors, I think they're a bit too 'fierce' and a bit too 'harsh' and it needs to be toned down and made more "pastely".

I'm supposed to call VicNet which I will do after this presentation - but maybe even after exams.. or sometime during then.

I'm yet to do a user guide, which I'll have to think about a bit.

There are a few issues though:
The website goes a bit funny in Firefox. This has been somethign that has just recently cropped up. It only happens in the Plant Database so I don't know if maybe it's got something to do within Peter's coding - I am beginning to really loathe Dreamweaver (and Fireworks) the code is very messy and unreadable... but there was nothing I could see that really stood out to mess with it.

So am thinking that maybe it's a Firefox thing - I know it disables my styling so maybe something has bothered it about the menu - although it's strange that it's only that particular page... but no one else has said anything about it when I've sent the site off to be "tested".

What happens is that it scrolls the banner space - so it can disappear off into never-neverland.
Image as follows. :)
