Photo album trial
Posted 29 Oct 2008
The Web Team has developed a photo album.
We are looking for three sites to trial it for us. Depending on how the trial goes we will make it more widely to other departments.
While it is streamlined and as straightforward as possible, once set up you will need to update and maintain it yourself. We will support and train you.

Skills you need
We are looking for administrators with the following skills:- Confident with updating, maintaining and developing your site
- Able to prepare images for the web
- Willing to learn and extend your skills (future updating and maintaining by you includes basic editing of the code)
What the Web Team will do for you
We will do the initial set up of your photo album for you:- Create a photo album page in your site
- Test to make sure it works
- Instruct you on how to maintain and update it in future, including how to edit the code
What you need to take part in the trial
If you have photos but still need to prepare them for the web you can still take part. You will need:- Approximately 10 - 21 photos of an event, conference etc (not a random selection of photos)
- Photos prepared for the web to the following sizes:
Landscape W = 300px, H = 200px
Portrait W = 200px, H = 300px - Photos named as follows:
image001.jpg, image002.jpg, image003.jpg.... image010.jpg, image011.jpg, image012.jpg etc
Presently I don't have the skills but I'm interested
If you see a need for a photo album on your site but don't yet have the skills needed, you can develop them by:- Regulary updating your site. Regular, small amounts of time on your site will build your skills and confidence
- Using the PD&R process to develop your web skills (Dreamweaver and preparing images for the web). Talk to your supervisor.
- Using the help topics and tutorials in the how to section
