Navigation Bar

• Changed index to home

Nested Menus

• Nested menu now exists for home -- still need some styling
• Need the rest (only "Collections" has been done)

Page Structure

• Pages should all be made with panels (with the exception of those that are less static (eg. Image Gallery, News Blog)
• These are two columns with a top and bottom row
• Images should go in left column, text in right
• Each image and text paragraph should be its own node (of type Image/Photo or Page Text)
  • Each of these nodes should contain a taxonomy term for the page it should show on (eg. type "Collections" will show on the right column of the page "Collections"

News & Events

• Blog?
• What to do about Newsletters?
• All elements are on two column panel layout page
  • Added calendar, which floats to the left. News blog is at the bottom, but there will be a recent announcements widget at the top

Gallery

• Added content type for photos
• Created taxonomy for images based on page names
  • Could filter pages to display on page by this taxonomy or create a view that displays the images from several or all pages
• Built Photo Gallery view
• Added quicktabs to filter by taxonomy
• Header on Gallery page not showing up -- needs to be added to context filter

Wrapper

• Wrappers need to be shrunk to fit page

Fonts

Installed flowerchild font with @font-your-face, but wasn't able to edit panel title with panels css editor -- will wait for stylesheet access.

Editing

• For text views, I created a nid edit field link at the top, which an administrator can click to edit each node.
  • This is added in the views-view-fields.tpl.php file, which grabs the hidden NID from the node in the view and prints it out in a link to the edit page for that node
