Final Milestone Progress Update

- Did theme overhaul of entire website with initial search of basic theme formats

- Added a few more blue tones to the website

- Changed the font of the site

- Lined up the capital letters of the logo to make it look smoother and line up better

- Shrunk the logo and slogan to be less intrusive over the rest of the site

- In the video demonstrations and score sheet listing pages, i did a blue gray blue gray alteration for each post in order to break up the content aesthetically so users don't get lost in a sea of gray or blue.

- Added and moved content in login, new user, and archive boxes on the right side of the content page in order to prevent the words from bleeding over

- Capitalized User Profile Titles and How to Make a video titles in order to better distinguish between the heading and the actual user information and links.

- Moved links that are available to everybody below the logo and slogan

- Placed Username and all registered user links in the upper left hand corner when the user logs in. Placed below logo but above the general links.

- Made the whole content window centralized regardless of window size and as a result set the content area to fixed width rather then fluid.

- Attempting to an image of notes in the background of the content which would be slightly low opacity so as to not over dominate the text. Considering adding it to the outside content area background. Not successful so far.

- Getting contributors was difficult for one reason, people just didn't have the time to do this in the time frame given them.

- Sent email after email to old high school professor and got no response, discovered she wasn't even in school and had a sub so that's fallen through for now.

- Worked with Sam to try and get cron job to delete video files on my server after they have been processed....no success thus far.

- Working with Sam on trying to allow the search feature to search within users profiles to find the users who play the instruments they need...no success at this point.

- Downloaded advanced profile module to try and help with the feature stated directly above and are currently trying to figure out how it works.

- I reduced the number of survey questions down to 8

- Personally added one video to the website and plan on adding one more.

- Got 1 person to contribute to a forum post, score sheet post, and two video posts

- Plan on having a stack of business cards on the table at Capstone night as well as a few post cards.
