Cause Project

The project has gone well so far, though it took quite a bit of getting used to Ning and (to a lesser extent, at least so far) Facebook to be able to actively contribute online. After the group settled on a topic (anti-semitism) we started putting the (Ning) site together almost immediately. Over the next several days we've added pictures, videos, a description and welcome statement, a music file, and picked a suitable aesthetic scheme.

I've felt more confident with my contributions to the project this time around, having helped write the site description note, picked the/a song that will be used on our site, and created an order to the blog posts to most effectively highlight the common threads in our drafts. I also think the group is working together pretty well, and I definitely feel like I work pretty well with Rachel after working on the last project together. It's also easier to communicate and set goals and tasks for each person this time around, so I feel like this project is going well.

One thing that's been bothering me, though, is that I can't seem to upload a picture to the image slideshow on our Ning Cause's main page. The photos section of the site recognizes the upload, but not the slideshow. I'm going to keep trying to get it up there, but it's been giving me trouble so far. Thankfully the song upload was much easier. Hopefully the blog, event, and discussion posts will be fairly easy as well.
