The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group invites all interested computer users to attend the June monthly meeting:
. *** JUNE 26th MEETING AGENDA ***
. -- WEBSITE CREATION & MAINTENANCE: PART 2 --
This month, Barry Mann and John Davey will continue with Part 2 of the website maintenance presentation they began in April.
As the phillyos2 website's new webmaster, Barry has rearranged everything under the hood, while keeping the site's familiar look and feel. During the presentation, Barry and original webmaster, John, will compare their
differing styles of web authoring. John will show how he used a GUI tool, Home Page Publisher, to maintain previous versions of the site, and Barry will show how he migrated the site to PPWizard, a text based tool. Both styles have advantages and disadvantages.
During the presentation, we'll be covering cross platform browser issues.
Attendees are encouraged to bring laptops (you'll need a CDRW reader). All platforms welcome. We want as much diversity as possible.
Using the phillyos2 site as a sample, we'll test Barry's success at creating a browser agnostic site. So far, it's been tested on Netscape 4.61, Mozilla 1.0, Opera 5.1 B2 and WebEx. There are a few surprises, but
the site is readable on all above browsers. Please try this site on any browsers you have. If any quirks are found, make a detailed record of the circumstances. We'll try to replicate them at the meeting.
Other agenda items include U/G business items, OS/2 news, new releases, Q&A session and raffles. The usual free refreshments will also be available.
Mark the date and time: Wednesday, May 22nd at 7:00pm.
OS/2 meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests and others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated technologies. We have a very full agenda, so also please try to be on time promptly by 7:00pm.
