Today we will revising and polishing each group's project objective copy and putting a finish on the Farm Philly branding material. You will decide on a domain for the project blog, purchase it, and with our help set up hosting. We will be working together to build a custom
Wordpress theme, establish your user accounts, and begin adding content. You will spend the class assisting us with the design and gathering your research materials and other documentation of the project to this point.
For next week you will each have posted at least FIVE items of research, collected data, preliminary design, and other bits of documentation. You will bring with you to class anything you might need to continue getting the project blog caught up to your current progress level. You should continue to exercise the methods we've explored thus far, adding photos, videos, scanned notes, data, and copy relevent to your urban farming initiatives. As we are more than halfway through the semester, you should have copious amounts of content ready to upload.
In addition to publishing content, next week's class will contain a short lecture/demonstration on mapping and leveraging
google maps. You will learn to create and share maps, adding points, descriptions, paths, and add maps to the project blog.
