Dasheill Lodge Site

Filed under: Uncategorized — Joe @ 12:49 pm

I have been working on a beta site for the Dasheill Lodge for the past few weeks. So far, it is looking good. The link is on my homepage. It is an implemetation of Drupal that I haven’t customized as of yet. So far it is working as it is. I may need to make some changes later on, but all of our needs seem to be met by the core Drupal program and some available modules. I am very pleased with it so far.

Now comes the time to let people look at it and play with it. So far we have 3 people who have signed up to use it after an email I sent to several brothers. If we do not have more interest in the site I will then stop adding to it, consider it not feasable for use, retire it, and then do a post mordem to try to evaluate why users were not interested. All who have participated in the poll seem to like it, but only 3 users have voted in the poll. I guess time will tell.

The Website Keeps Getting Better

Filed under: Uncategorized — Joe @ 10:53 am

I am still working out kinks in the website. I have some more content to add and some additional content management systems to implement, but it is looking good so far. I am surprised at how long this is taking, but considering I only get an hour or so a day to work on it makes me thing I am doing very well.

I have completed setting up Gallery 2 and will start adding more pictures soon. I will then enable to link on the home page. I have decided to use have a browesable photo directory and use Gallery 2. The main reason for using Gallery 2 is so that my wife has an easy way to upload pictures to the web. Considering she was a photographer at one time, I guess it is the least I could do.

I will add more to the sight tonight. I am going to Newport now and then on to Dollywood, unless something changes. We will go get the girls some clothes after Dollywood closes. That is my day ahead.
