#108 November 19: Zoom meeting, Website edits – 3 hours 15 minutes

We hit a bit of a snafu with the weekly virtual meeting. I had tried to reschedule it due to a conflict and Liston’s schedule had filled up, so we went with the usual time. Thankfully, Josh showed up and we could look over the ICC website. As expected, he said several things needed to change. Things that will no doubt keep me busy as I close in on the final days of my mentorship and Masters of Business Administration studies. A few of them were edits that could be made as we worked, replacing one word with another. Others I jotted down to return to at a later time because I knew they would be complicated and did not want to slow up the proceedings by focusing on them.

One such item was adding content within the banner of the home page. The text just read “Always a champion,” which is sort of the tagline I came up with for Life After the Games because it is about athletes leaving their sport for a career. Josh wanted to add some text to it plus the new medal we put on the brochure. This would surely involve some work outside of WordPress to do, so I later made it so WordPress would not show the “Always a champion” text and created new text within the image itself using Photoshop. There was also the issue of a tint on WordPress that I had to figure out how to remove. At any rate, it is changed but will probably require further changes later. This is only one of the suggestions Josh made.
