Legacy progress

I've made progress with the Legacy website but it is still has a ways to go before completion. Creating a template for the website is definitely the hardest part. I've been working on it from my home computer and playing around with a few ideas to see what will works best. I hope to have it completed by mid-November. This is definitely the hardest task I've had so far.

LED board software/Staff listing update

I've been having a few issues with the software that updates the LED software. It's not a big problem but it is very tedious and sometimes aggravating. When I create new slides with information, sometimes the slide won't save and when I try to reopen it to edit it again, it's gone. On other rare occasions, I will get an error box saying I'm not allowed to type any more text on this slide, even though I've typed one or two words at max. These problems only come up every once in a while so it's not a huge issue, but an update to the software could benefit future webmasters. Also, on the Apex website we have a page with all of the staff listed. It has their last name, first name, department, and email address. To help users view the page easier, I've added a feature that allows visitors to sort the table by any of the four categories listed. I've also added <a name> tags which allows the user to click on a letter of the alphabet (which is already listed on the page) and the browser will immediately jump to the staff members with that letter of the alphabet.
