Project Three: Independent Learning Technology Post Four

For my fourth post for this project, where we had to use the website wordpress.com I will talk about the  components of the website that I was unfamiliar with. First with when working with Wordpress, I was unfamiliar with the theme selection process. As a group member I took it upon myself to start designing our website for the redesign of Kingston Pizza, the first step in that process would be to pick out a theme for the web page. The selection was narrowed because some of themes needed to be purchased to be used. I decided to pick a rather simplistic theme because for a pizza place we thought that as group, the webpage didn't need to be cluttered with any extra information or "stuff". After picking the theme, working with editing all the aspects of the theme was different for me and for us as a group.  To make the webpage represent our idea of our redesign we started editing all the basic components, before adding in all the information actually needed for the website. The basics involved changing the title of the webpage, also adding a sub title, fixing the color schemes of the pages, assigning tabs the proper labels, and adjusting page measurements. while trying to find the editing option for the basics I was able to find all of the listed above along with some other components of the webpage where we would need to go back into to add information. Being unfamiliar with the website was time consuming and sometimes frustrating. Eventually were we able to edit all of the basic components of the webpage and also add in all the information we decided to include in the redesign. When adding in information and picture there were certain parts that we needed to fix after the first upload. For example, after uploading information we had to adjust the alignment of the text and the pictures so that they would align correctly with the rest of the page. By working and adding information to Wordpress, each member of the group was able to explore the program and learn how it works.
