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.
