New website #2

I was again approached by someone else who needed a website for use. Mrs. Knall asked me if I could create a website for the Apex Legacy to use. They currently publish their articles through PDF files and, in turn, I post them on the Apex High website. They wanted to change this process so that they, themselves, could post their articles without the help of a webmaster. This task was difficult because I now have to create a website that runs off of the same software and local server that the school's website uses. This is still a work in progress.

New website

I was approached by Eric Bolender today and he asked me if I would be willing to develop a website for the Key Club at Apex (which Eric is a part of). I immediately said yes, as it would not be that hard of a task to complete. I created the website on my home computer, which it is solely running from. The website features a calendar of events, officer duties, and many other helpful things for the club to use. Overall, they are very satisfied with it.

Updates to the site/LED Board introduction

Lately, I've become more familiar with adding news to the homepage of our school's website as well as managing the Google Docs page we have set up for staff members to submit news to be added. It can be very nit-picky at times because of how fragile the code is. I'm looking for a solution to make the site more user-friendly for webmasters and staff members to edit the site sufficiently. I've also started working with our school's LED board. At the end of the last school year, I was shown how to edit the LED board and update it using the software already installed on the computer. It's actually a lot simpler than I thought. I've added many events that are shown on the LED board, rather than just the main sports games that are announced. I show club meetings, staff meetings, field trips, in addition to all of the sports teams games.
