Took photos this morning at the Registration event and posted on the FB Fan page. Backing up the current web in anticipation of the changes that will take place this week. Pdf'ed and posted the BOE agenda for 8/19/09. Twittered the announcement and then realized the location was wrong. Got that fixed and reposted and retwittered. Also posted the info to the FB Fan page. Created a new Food Service page which houses all of the info on the program except for the menus. Those will remain linked as is on each school's page. Began some reorganization of the schools' home pages. Reordered the info bar on the right, changing colors to make the info more readable, added headers for the newsletter and food service areas. Also standardized the school supply headings. Updated the Business and District pages to include links to the new Food Service and Emergency Info pages. The Emergency Info page will roll out with the new web layout. Also updated the Registration page with the registrar's vacation time. Created a new graphic which will roll out with the new pages/email marketing/paperless campaign.

Created a new curriculum map page for when we lose the Atlas service. Lots of tables. Fixed some issues on the home page and then redid the navigation on the new home to alleviate confusion with the link focus. To fix that issue I added 4 more new landing pages instead of having drop downs in the navbar. Added new "about us", "parents & students", "staff", and "community" landing pages. They can be viewed here: www.d46.org/index-new.html but don't click around too much or else you'll get lost in a mix of two designs. I'm anticipating the new pages/design to be functional by the end of the week or sometime during the weekend. Oh, I also Twittered and FB'd the news that the web would be undergoing some changes and there may be interruptions in service. Consider yourself notified as well.

More work on the new home page, added new pages, reworked the navbar links, added new Twitter buttons to AV and PC, new buttons on the new home page. Gotta say I am impressed with the web hits this summer. Not too shabby. Also, I may have failed to mention the link to the past web pages? Those were grabbed from the Internet Archive - WayBackMachine website, so lots of graphics are missing. It's too bad there wasn't more of an archive kept as it went along before my time.

Weekend work: Installed and configured Tweetdeck to try out. Pretty neat, but I don't think it will work for what was proposed. I am using it personally though! Also did some research on pulling multiple account Twitter feeds. Found some code that looks promising, but will put that on the back burner for now. Also saw some nice Twitter buttons and lots of design information that I bookmarked. Posted a few more updates to the FB Fan page. Also did some work on an Illustrator file.

Decided to name the new Facebook Fan page (which will now be referred to as the FB Fan page) Community Consolidated School District 46 - CCSD 46. Since we use them both. And I can't make up my mind. So hopefully people will find us searching for either the long name or the short name. Within one hour of launching the FB Fan page I had 15 people join. Nice. Created an event on their for the registration event next week. Posted links, etc. Also Twittered the info, and it is all over the web. Took a couple photos (out in the rain) of the Frederick sign that announced the all-district registration. Posted one of those on the FB Fan event page. Ordered Drupal book (with squirrel on cover - is there no justice in the world). Began work on a new home page redesign. Pretty sure I decided against doing this until next year, but surprise, its coming now.

Info requested from OSX user's group on Drupal versions. Did some investigating of Drupal themes that may be modifyable to something sort of similar to what we use. Also looked into a service called psd2cssonline. Create layouts in Photoshop and convert to CSS code. Very, very interesting.

Met with the leadership team this morning on several issues: Twitter, Facebook, Wiki, Email Marketing. Couple things came out of the meeting: renaming the Staff Links button to Teacher Web Pages. Also the Koala was removed from Avon's wiki pages. There was also some heated debate later in the day over the naming convention for the wikis. Not sure what the resolve is yet. Still kicking around what to name the new district FB page. CCSD 46? The whole long Community Consolidated name?
