The Past Two Weeks: Website Group

Now armed with all of the information from the presentation and the resarch groups, members of the Web site group have been busy developing the site.
They have been communicating via Facebook to determine the best design and layout for a project such as Trashcot Mascot.
A template was finally perfected; it uses a pretty, green background that suits a site for a group dedicated to making the Earth more "green". They also decided which subpages to include: Home, Video, Facts, Pictures, Links, Contact Us. The Home page introduces and describes Trashcot Mascot by outlining the mission statement, how it works, the cost, the challenges, and the overall purpose. The Video page contains a link to a video made that illustrates UGA students recycling and is a resource for readers to learn more about what Trashcot Mascot really does. The Facts page provides dozens of interesting facts about recycling. The Pictures page is not yet finished, but the group plans on posting pictures of people recylcing in interesting ways, examples of what is acceptable to send in for the competition. The Links page contains hyperlinks to sixteen websites where readers can learn more about recycling. The Contact Us page lists each group member's name and contact information.
The web site group experienced some technical difficulties at first, but now have it under control. They had the URL posted to our Facegroup message board on Tuesday night so that the rest of the group members could have a chance to see it before the in-class meeting on Wednesday.
During the group meeting, members of the presentation & research groups gave suggestions on how to improve the site. We decided that more information was needed, more fonts, and more pictures. The website group took down all of the suggestions and are making improvements accordingly.
The research and presentation groups were given more assignments to help the website group acheive the goals we set out in class.
The website is on track to be completed before the deadline this Friday, November 7.
