Today in class I uploaded the breakfast and lunch menus for the school district. It was very easy all I had to do was turn the menu into a pdf file. Mr. Langley so far is not in class today. Hopefully he will be in the next class so we can do some productive work. Also tonight Michael Wacha takes the mound for the Cardinals against the Red Sox. It is a must win for the Cardinals if they want to win the World series. RedSox lead the series 3-2.

Today in Webmaster I did nothing because he wasn't here. Hope to get started on something when he arrives.

Today I didn't have anything to do
October 22, and 24 2013
On Tuesday Mr. Langley drew up a plan with us too fix and update the website. We updated a bunch off old stuff and got rid of some of it too. The major thing we did was that we added a fine arts to the navigation bar. We felt that fine arts needed its own tab and we transfered a bunch of stuff into the bar. We did this all class and we got most of it done. I also updated the content bar of the website as well.
Today I moved the NIU link to the guidance page because I do not feel that it needed to be in the community group. I went and asked Mrs. Brandon first though just to get the okay on it. That is all I did today in webmaster. Tonight I work at my job till 8 and I am going home to watch the Cardinal game. Its game 2 and they are looking to bounce back from a 8-1 loss last night. Carlos Beltran status is up in the air and he is a huge part of the cardinals offense and overall make up of the team.
October 22, 2013
Today in webmaster we just reordered alot of the tabs on top of the High School district website. There was alot of things to move around, but we pretty much got it all organized. We also asked Mrs. Brandon about a NIU website, but she said just to keep it where it is.

Today in class all we did was go down to the office to talk to Mr.Ward about the website.He had many goods ideas and he agreed with some of our ideas. He feels that we need a quick clean up of the website. There is alot old information on the website and it needs to be removed.Mr. Langley is gonna sit down with us next class and help us with the website.
October 18, 2013
Today in Webmaster, all we did was go and talk to Mr. Ward about things to change on the high school website. Next class we will initiate these issues.

Today was another easy day. Mr. Langley seems to have forgotten about us; just kidding. I understand he's a busy guy. I spent some time trying to find the cross country pictures so I could go through them and find the good ones, but I couldn't find them. After that I just went through all the SD cards to clear them all. We had a shorter class today, so we didn't do too much.

October 16, 2013
Today was another easy day. Mr. Langley wasn't here again. All I felt I needed to do was create a folder for soccer and the videos. After that I did my psychology homework, which just consisted of taking a lot of notes and regurgitating in back onto a worksheet. Hopefully Mr. Langley gives us something to do next class.
October 16, 2013
Today I looked through the emails and I did not have any new ones. We were not left any instruction on what to do today in class and Mr. Langley was not here either. I will just continue to look at the navigation bar and see what we can do to improve the website. I also helped Tyler with his homework in Media Lit. It was over the history of radio broadcasting. He had to do 9 questions and I helped him with some of the questions. Today wasn't a very productive day but hopefully next time is!

October 11, 2013
Today was a super easy day. We got out early, so the class was only 40 minutes and Mr.Langley wasn't here. All we had to do was make a list of things we thought we could do to improve the website and make navigation easier for parents and students. An example being; make an art tab instead of having student art work under academics because that doesn't really make sense. I also went on box and deleted a picture. I don't know what we are going to do next class, but I bet we will work on the website to make navigation easier.

October 9, 2013
Today was a real easy day. Mr. Langley didn't show up so all I did was upload some pictures of the homecoming court and label them. I had trouble knowing some of students so I had to find the sheet of the homecoming court we used a couple weeks ago. I also organized some folders and finished up homecoming pictures overall. Next class hopefully Mr. Langley will be here and have a new job for me.

Today in Web Master my goal was to go through the whole Pleasant Plain district calender for all of the categories of basketball. I had a correct version of the schedule that was redone and had to base that off of the websites schedule and edit the websites schedule as to the revised schedule. This was needed because there were a lot of small errors throughout the websites schedule. It was a time consuming task but we got it done.
October 9, 2013
Today in class I worked on formatting schedules for the middle school girls and boys basketball and for the high school girls and boys basketball. It wasn't very hard we just had to adjust the times of some games and add some games to the schedule that were not there before. The high school boys schedule was the worst. Many of the times and dates were mixed up. Tyler did the middle school and I did the high school schedule. Overall we accomplished our goal today by completing the schedules. Mr. Langley wasn't here today but that is what he left us with. Next time I am not sure what we will be doing but hopefully it is productive and helps the website.

October 7, 2013
Today in class I started by taking some of the SD cards and clearing them and putting them into folders. ACDSee was working a lot better, so I guess the defragmenting worked. After I finished that up I went on Box and started labeling picture from the most recent football game. I knew what to say for most of them, but I need some clarification for the last couple because I didn't recognize the people. Next class I will finish that up and them upload more pictures to the computer and then onto box for Plains Press.

Today Mr. Langley was not here once again. I checked the web master email and I didnt have any new emails. There wasnt really anything to do. ALso the St. Louis Cardinals game was on today and I listened to it. The Cardinals need to win this game to go to force a game 5 in the NLDS. Other than listening to the cardinals game there was not anything else that I did. I looked at the website and it was fine. Hopefully there will be more to do next time.

Today Mr. Langely was not here. There was no email letting us know what we needed to do, so I was not able to do anything specific today.
October 3rd, 2013
Today in Webmaster, Mr. Langley came in later towards the class so we didn't do much. The stuff that we did get done was to try to categorize certain tabs on the High School district website. They were already categorized, but some of the topics were placed in weird and hard to find areas where they should not of been. The main move that we did was deleting the old STI tab, because we no longer use STI and substituted it with the new Teacher Ease tab.
This is all that we did today for webmaster. There was not much, but we still got some work done int he time that was allowed and the task that was given.

Today Mr. Langley was gone for the majority of the class. I spent that time picking out pictures to put om box.com from homecoming week. ACDSee Pro kept on crashing so it made the job a lot longer then it needed to be. When Mr. Langley got here I told him about the problem and he suggested updating everything on the computer. While the computer was updating I labeled some pictures on box. When the computer finished Mr. Langley suggested we should defragment the hard drive, because it needed it. I learned how to do that, which was pretty interesting. It was cool to see the process the computer went through to clean it out and organize itself. Next class I plan on finishing up the homecoming pictures and labeling some picture from several football games.

Today all i did was put the bank-a-meal on the contents bar on the district and high school website. I did this because we recently ave gotten complaints saying that they cant find the link. If people can not find it now then they are blind. I did not receive any other emails today. Also once again Mr. Langley was not present. There was not really much to do. I just looked over the sight and helped look for pictures. Next time hopefully we will have more to do. Mr. Langley will probably be here to next class.
October 1, 2013
Today in webmaster we were supposed to upload a picture from the picture files. The picture was of the 2013 volleyball team. Although knowing this we were not able to find it. We tried looking in different places but could not find it but hopefully today we are able to track it down.

I wasn't in class today because I had a field trip for yearbook. At the field trip I learned a lot of new camera stuff and learned a little about Photoshop. The guy teaching the Photoshop class didn't really know what he was doing and kind of sucked at teaching. I almost fell asleep. Mr.Langley taught the camera stuff so obviously it was excellent. I was reminded of the rule of thirds, which normally slips my mind when I'm taking pictures. I also learned how to caption a picture, which I have been doing for box.com, so now I know a little more about it.
Next class I plan on going through the homecoming pictures and picking out the good ones. I also need to start putting things on box and start captioning things.

Today Mr. Langley was not present. We were supposed to send an email to Mr.Brooks with the Volley Ball team picture but we could not find the photo. I also received an email from a parent asking about the bank a meal. She said that her daughters link to her account was no longer working. I emailed her back then forwarded the message to Mr. Langley. Thats all I did today.
Next class I will probably try to fix the bank a meal account and also email the picture to Mr. Brooks of the Volleyball team. Mr. Langley will also probably be here next class to help us.
