This was the final week of working on the websites!!! Unfortunately I must say it was one of my busiest weeks as well.
My main concern was learning how to put paper documents onto my website so it would be accessible to the user. After all, it is one thing to mention required forms but another to actually provide them. Yet the question I had to resolve was, how do I get a paper document onto a computer screen?
The answer was simple, scanning the document. However, after uploading the papers onto my website I ran into a new obstacle. The HTML screen that appeared was not very user friendly. Seeing the document as a whole required repeatedly scrolling down the page. With the help of Mr. Stengel, I concluded that the document should be made into a pdf so not only would it be easy to read, but print out as well.
I then rescanned the documents and changed the document code to .pdf. Then I added the pictures as a link on the page.
However, I did not stop there. Not being able to upload pdf’s myself, I had to find a solution on how to make the pdf’s viewable to everyone. I, therefore, visited the adobe acrobat website and found a free adobe reader that could be added. I added the link to my page.
Altogether, this week’s work was very effective. Mr. Vitelli even complimented the website. Now, any athlete could get the forms they needed online (which means less hassle for Mr. V!)
