Monday
The documentary about the tuition fee protests was on the front page, but had been replaced with our latest bulletin, so I took the YouTube embed code and put it on the sidebar of features.
The video was joined by Stu's feature interview with Chris Huhne. We're starting to get big names on the site, which is really encouraging.
Also, I generally updated the content, including news and sport articles submitted over the weekend.
Picture problems: Jase had copyrighted his (excellent) pictures, so the embed code for one of Stu's articles was not available.
Tuesday
I have been putting a lot of video content up this week. Catherine's behind the scenes video at the Echo is very good, so I put that on the front page. Veronica/Maddie etc's fee demo documentary is now on the features page as it had to be taken off the front page for the latest bulletin.
Hobbs has been securing some big names in the comment department, including Steve Brine and the Bishop of Winchester. The bishop piece had two parts to it, so me and Chris decided to keep one half back for next week. We also jazzed up his picture to more of a close up, feature style image.
Me and Jon decided it is best all-round for the site to have one column. Two columns cause far too many Joomla problems whilst one column looks good anyway. There are still drawbacks with one column, including the need to write long headlines to fill the excess space. So we went through and sorted that problem.
Wednesday
Sportsweek was getting a bit old on the front page and there wasn't a new one this week due to postponements.
Somehow the sidebars on the site started to look bare, especially on the news and sport pages. Grant put Mikey's new feature 'Hit the WINOL woodwork' onto YouTube so I could put that on sport along with links to popular and latest articles. Andy's bible bashers VT was looking old on the news sidebar, so I replaced that with two of Stu's latest pieces on the tuition fees and council housing.
Latest: Chris has been busy over the weekend to make the site look better, check it out at WINOL.
