This week I’ve created some more js.
I couldn’t get qtip to work so I found cluetip. However, it doesn’t look as fancy and rounded corners are only possible with images:

Week 5 complete… essentially 2 weeks left.
There’s a lot of work left to do, but it’s getting complete steadily. We’ve got our list of to-do’s and everyone’s on task.
Still left to work on:
Many of these are halfway there and simply need to be tied up and finalized.
- Story Joining Algorithm
- Story Rating Algorithm
- Friending
- Approving [...]

It was a bit of a pain to code — it’s got to keep track of all of the form values for it to be truly functional, which meant a lot of checks made to make sure [...]

I also sent a flyer out to Glen so that he could inform members from the English department letting them know that we were beta testing.
I also finalized the song, fixing [...]

This week I spent 4 hours testing the site - then parse errors started coming up everywhere and testing was cut short.  Revision list here.
Also racked my brain for useful people to test the site.  Most notably I contacted the webmaster for the gaming website PlanetDA.net who will hopefully put up one of Frankie’s banner [...]

This week I was assigned to continue the marketing work. I have posted 20 flyers around campus and have begun communicating with my past English professors about the site so that they can inform their students. I also added a story start to the site, and will be adding more in the coming [...]

3 weeks left…
My work this week started early on, for the release of the “beta” stage of the site. The biggest improvement was the addition of the AJAX-loaded contribution view on the right side of any story that has contributions to view. This took about 3 hours to implement, which was a lot less than [...]

This week I was assigned to work on advertising the website in order to get the word out about the BETA. Aaron had me do some research on SEO, or search engine optimization. It is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines through mathematical [...]

So the Gantt had me down this week to pretty much finish messeging and the comment PHP code. In light of the many many feedback responses we’ve gotten from our new users since going live, we all decided it was probably a priority to fix a number of glaring problems that become apparent with [...]
