10th session

Another week, another update.

Moving as slowly as ever. It's still the same situation at the moment. I am sending David the work, and he is doing the tedious job of uploading them. As I said last week, it would be a much quicker job if I could help.

For me, at the moment it seems as though I'm a spare wheel. I am writing the content, but that is all I can do, until we decide to occasionally change roles, so he can have a break from staring at DreamWeaver.

We met up early last week in the library to add more content to the site, which went as well as it could have done, and I have been writing more content.

One issue we have discussed is the user-bility of the site. In the rational we talked about having comment boxes, and we have even discussed including a forum for the site, but we came to the conclusion that because of the nature of our site, a forum would be quite redundant, as a forum would be a place for people to discuss continuous news, whereas our site is a place to attract attention to artists or writers that aren't necessarily in the news at this time. We also felt that it wouldn't suit the aesthetics of the site, as it is very difficult to create a forum using the same design of website, instead we would have to link to a site generated by an external client.

One option we did discuss was comment box, and we feel if we had more time then we would attempt to include them on our site, especially in the gallery. However we have instead incorporated a 'mail to' section on each page, this allows people to get in contact if they wish to.

So, things are slowly moving forward.
