School Starting Problems and Solutions

School has started and so the problems with the web site build.

• A main concern is not being able to see the teacher reading lists. It does not seem to matter if they are docs or pdfs sometimes they just won't load. Other times they run a muck with iprism. I have put that one in trackit but will need to absorb some of the help forums for the rest.
• Favicon does not show up on the GoDaddy site. I've tried what the forum suggested about the GoDaddy settings. I even reloaded the favicon. I will post on the forum and see what people suggest.

Success:

• Added Analytics and had a brief lesson from Todd Parr on how to understand what they are telling me. Now know I need to test in IE, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Much of my traffic comes from Safari, which indicates an iPad or iPhone.
• Broke the page into 2 columns to get rid of the lengthy lines which are a big concern of James Erbe and other research we have read. Still need to be briefer and use bullets and numbers more often.
• Mobile site seems to be working. One teacher commented on its ease of use.

To Do:

• Add a calendar
• Add drop down links to databases.
• Look for icon sized database logos for sidebar.
• Add 50th anniversary slide show to encourage library visits.
