12


I worked on the website a lot this weekend. Here's the link again, just in case:

A couple of things have been improved:

  • I fixed the layout on the website so it should work on all computers and stay in the center, as opposed to skewing off onto the right side like it was doing in class. The code could use a little more debugging, but to the best of my ability, I have made it as sophisticated as possible.
  • A Glossary of Terms has been added onto the main page. Basically, it's just a pop up with a list of obscure words and definitions, for people unfamiliar with the Inca empire and the Quechua language. These are just the basic words one needs to know, there is a whole lot more that could be added to the glossary.
  • The Projects page was added with any missing PowerPoint projects, but the Projects page could be updated with actual projects, although it seems everyone is working hard on them and they will be placed on the website after the Dec. 22nd deadline. For now, the projects remain as PowerPoints.
  • A small Penn logo was placed at the bottom of the page to link back to the UPenn website, just because!
  • The Contacts page now has a "Contact Us" form in which the viewer of the website must state their name, e-mail address, who they would like to contact (from a drop down list of all of our names), and a text box explaining the reason for contact. It is a formal way of contacting one of us without explicitly putting our e-mails onto the website (for privacy reasons).
  • The Credits page credits anyone who helped us with our project, as a whole, and credits any images or information I may have used on the website. It also gives a sentence on the class and where it was taken (at Penn).

That's all I can think of for now, but I think the site is greatly improved.
