Site Taking Shape
After 2 very long days working on the site structure and web page design it looks like a web site with a purpose. The sections of the site that allow visitors and members to add content are operational ready for testing to see if they meet operational requirements of the society. Content can be published to the site in 3 areas.
This section of the site is for news, events and other information of importance. Content is published using the interface provided for free by www.blogger.com All files are stored on the VicNet server along with the rest of the website. All new articles are added to the top of the main news and events page that has been setup to display the past 5 post. Each article is archived to its own page as well as a monthly archive.
When a new page is added all of the links are updated automatically by the system and the design of every weblog page can be updated by editing the template, this does not include the web pages that share the same design for consistency across the web site. All of the web pages have been developed to the highest standards complying with XHTML 1.0.
As well as publishing articles with the online WYSIWYG editor the system has also been set up to publish articles submitted by email. This is convenient for members who only need to know the private email address to publish content from anywhere they can use a web browser. After an initial learning curve the weblog will prove to be an invaluable asset.
Comments have been enabled on this article for you can add some feedback. Knowing what users think is important to deliver a product that satisfies all of the requirements, many of which are unknown prior to the capabilities of the system being known. The site is now at a usable stage ready for refinement based on end users feedback.
