Artifact: “Meet The Met” Story
This was the first story that I converted into the WordPress format and was one of the feature stories on the Texas Tech Today Web site. It was a frustrating process but served a valuable learning experience nonetheless. I learned the all about the WordPress content management system, specifically how to use the “write post” feature to develop Web pages for news releases. In the process of learning this new system I also began memorizing more HTML tags such as DIV columns, styles and our customized cutline tags used to place and hold images along with their cutline.
Converting stories into the WordPres format became a routine task following this story prior to the launching of the WordPress site. How the experiance I gained during the delopment of this Web page prepared me for our evental switch to the WordPress system and reduced use of Dreamwaever.
