Glenwood South Website is done!

It’s been a tough few weeks but I finally have every thing working the way I want it on the web site! The last challenge was to fix the logo/header on the map page. All the HTML appeared to be the same and on the first few glances, so did the CSS. This is one project that the CSS is very long so I had to print it out, compare, correct, and print it out again. After numerous adjustments that didn’t seem to do much, deleting floats and adjusting font sizes, I finally removed a line of text and everything fell into place! Time for the Bailey’s!

Check it out, www.shopdineglenwoodsouth.com. My very first professional logo design too.

I’ve been hard at work on the Carter Building web site as well, updating pages for the new Carter Building Art Center. Students are starting to sign up for classes and the building as a whole is starting to get noticed. Our hard work is starting to pay off, now for sales!!

 

I am learning so much about the marketing of art and businesses in general. I’ve learned more about web design than any certificate program and had a lot of fun doing it. I’ve got a great mentor, Tunde Afolayan, and several wonderful critics; they keep me from making a fool of myself!

Messing with my iPad

All I wanted for Christmas was an iPad! My family thought I was nuts but they got me one!

First things first, I added ebook readers and they added games. Now I am learning about the apps that will allow me to conduct business where ever I am. This is my first attempt at blogging from my iPad, I hope it works right!
I also signed up with Squareup.com to handle charge cards for my business, it's a great service that I wouldn't have access to without iPad.

I learned a new trick yesterday: it's called the two finger scroll. My website uses a horizontal scroll bar for several of my pages and they weren't working on my iPad. I did a lot of google research over 2 days and worked with the css3 'if then' statement: my css works when I decrease the size of my browser window but the iPad wasn't affected. I finally searched scrolling on an iPad and found the 2 finger scroll! Use 2 fingers together to slide across the page and viola!, the rest of the page shows up just like it does on my desktop. Still don't know why the 'if then' statement doesn't work but I'll save that for another day!
