Here's the deal: coding the website, I can do. Writing the whole thing, I cannot. While I'm up to the task of doing the Student Handbook (as that needs to be an admin job anyway), there's areas of the website that need to be written.
So, I come to you, the players, because I know you all want the website to be awesome and I would be grateful for the help. Below are some sections of the website that need doing.
Please do NOT volunteer for a section of the website unless you are absolutely 100% sure that you will be able to have it complete by November 1st. I'm not going to play the "waiting for the train that doesn't come" game. Commit to the project or move on. I'm not impressed by signing-up. I'm impressed by signing-up and then finishing the job.
Items marked with
HTML will require HTML knowledge.
-- About Page: I need a better IC description of the school and its function. Make it sound like real PR copy.
-- Faculty Directory (HTML): A listing of the members of faculty, their department, and pertinent information like office hours and links like voicemail/e-mail. Space for a small, icon-size picture.
-- Student Council: Currently there's a page for the candidates. I'd like to see a page regarding the Council's members and projects. Whoever takes this on may be looking at regularly submitting updates past the November 1st date (the basic gist of that page/area will need to be in place by that time, though).
Student Council member preferable for this job. If it fits with your IC position, all the better-- Fandom Clinic: Needs its own page. Description of operating hours, services, possibly of staff.
-- Fandom Dorms: PR copy on our dorms. Think college website trying to sell the comforts of on-campus living to prospective students. Some images would be nice. Multiple pages okay, so long as you clear the structure with me first.
-- Clubs: A listing of all active clubs and their faculty advisor.
-- Individual Club Pages: Each club will be allowed its own page on the site, provided that they write it themselves.
-- Fandom Townies (HTML): I know someone offered to design this back in the day. It needs to have a different design and purpose. Whoever does this needs to be savvy to HTML, image-editing, and FTP (as I will be giving them separate upload access). Make it as cheesy or snazzy as you like, just make sure the information is there.
If you'd like one of these pages/sections, please
e-mail me (
[email protected]) with your name (real or character), e-mail, and, in the case of HTML pages, past design experience. Applications in the comments will pointed to the e-mail address or ignored.
Thank you for your help, in advance.
Also, I know there's a few web functions that the site needs. Somebody created a Yahoo Calendar. I agree we need a calendar, but both Spider and I are in agreement that all game materials need to be kept between LJ and FandomHigh.com to reduce confusion and searching. I myself haven't ever been to this calendar and only know of it by reputation.
If there's a section you'd like the site to have, or a function you'd like it to perform, let me know. I'll see what I can do.
