Schoolsite development

KH - We need to sort out one or two alternative images for the top header - so we can rotate with the current one and test bounce rates. /Kerry - you need to help us here and choose some./

SW/AK - Any SEO stuff that we can implement that will help our natural listings.

CG/KH - I also think that a bit of styles love on the blog/news bits would be good.

We need to resolve the WYSIWYG editor. As a content manager, I'm still torn between the 3 we have which all seem to have virtues compared with the others but all of them also cause me heartache. Foolishly, I haven't documented the issues and it's always the case that you get pissed off with one and switch to another and it all seems fine until.... (repeat several times). I will try to create this pros/cons list and see where we go.

WYSIWYG grief-list

TinyMCE

- doesn't let me do heading tags correctly

- doesnt always load the stylesheet

FCK Editor

- preferred by Kat

- can't get it to reference the bloody editor stylesheet - and hence isn't wysiwyg at all

WYSIWYG Pro

- fucked cos the module isn't finished yet - hardly supports any features

Follows Yingshun's comment - we need more evidence on our homepage that we're 'alive'

From Aneta - Was just reading a bit from your blogs and news. One thing I would change is to make the hyperlinked text to pop out more. For example on the post below I can’t see what the link is:

Looks like this is how you do it:

Yesterday Kerry, Chris and I were talking about using Drupal to content manage a flash site.
This was mainly for Empire.

We were a bit unclear about whether it was really possible in the time frame and whether we might have to outsource.

So this morning I came in done some tests. And... they worked :)

So here we have an example of flash picking up my shops product list via an xml feed.

The page has more details as well as the example.

Sort out issue where some menus do not stay highlighted

Need to populate the Intranet with documents and a little bit of interest and love.

Having installed the module that checks for security/module updates, we're out of date all over the place. So a) we need to update - maybe I can do this over the weekend /(is this wise Vince, or do you need to do it?)/ and b) Kat and I need to think about this from the point of view of offering support packages.

Added printer friendly pages module - but it shows a link on the home page :-(. Need to figure out how to suppress this - otherwise it wroks just fine - even added a back on white custom logo

SW/VR? - Having installed the module that checks for security/module updates, we're out of date all over the place. So a) we need to update - maybe I can do this over the weekend /(is this wise Vince, or do you need to do it?)/ and b) Kat and I need to think about this from the point of view of offering support packages.

I need a more versatile home page, but I will need Vince's help to get me up and running. Essentially I need to port the current page into panels and start from there to evolve the home page we need. Would be great if we could have a go at this today, assuming it's no more than an hours work for VR to at least get the basics in place.

Not for our site really - just a note for when we put a D6 wishlist together
