Day Nineteen: 4/4/13

Today, I did some web design for the Yale School of Nursing. There are currently two websites that the school of nursing is constantly updating, and those websites are nursing.yale.edu, and dev.sleep.yale.edu

The former is Yale School of Nursing's main website, which displays news, information, and everything else you need to know about the School of Nursing. It is a standard university website that is constantly updating as new information comes in every week.

The other website is for Yale's Sleep Center research program, which is still in early development and cannot be accessed through the use of a public connection. One must be connected to Yale's secure wireless network in order to get to the website.

Both sites use versions of Drupal, an in-browser web editing program. The nursing website uses Drupal 6, while the Sleep Center website uses Drupal 7.

I added a few new News Stories to the School of Nursing's main website, keeping the website up to date with upcoming events and other news that was posted to the front page. I learned the basics of Drupal during this process and managed a variety of content on the website in the process.

Since the Sleep Center website is still in development, a lot of it's information was missing. I was given a hefty amount of content that was to be added to the website before it goes public. This included new pages, new navigation tools, and so on. This expanded my knowledge on Drupal even further and I'm glad I got the experience in it.
