I want to take this opportunity to revisit the first goals of this Journal and also of the portfolio site and see what I have achieved. There are of course areas that I would have liked to do more with but I have kept them on my Trello board for future reference as the portfolio site particularly will live on.

Part 1 of my final evaluation. This entry outlines key decisions that I made regarding accessibility towards the end of the development period. I am writing and publishing it retroactively as it as represents a very large amount of thinking and work, which I kept notes about as I went along.

In my last entry I talked about the suggestions that Theo provided from his perspective as a nurse and researcher. They were very helpful, but lead to some rather major layout changes.

This journal entry represents a mammoth effort to add high-quality content to the site. I developed and added the patient story. This was based on a characteristics list which I worked through rather vigorously on the afternoon of the 25th.

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” ― Douglas Adams (1989, p. 124) So up until the 24th of December I dallied with solutions for the navigation, but I had not really tackled the core issue.

A bit more on this to follow on from my last entry and to provide my references. I added a skip to content link as part of my development of the core navigation in the site.

I have been plugging away at the portfolio site with the primary aim of getting a semi-functional prototype version to Dr. Theo Fotis on Monday 12th of December. There is a still a huge amount of stuff to do, fix-up and streamline I will add these tasks to my Trello board.

This week I completed some major fix-up on my grid. Remember when I thought that it was almost fixed? Well I was wrong. In fact I ended up recalculating the whole thing and basing it on a single column being 65px or 6.

This week’s journal entry is short and sweet as I know what I need to do but I need to crack on and actually do it! My goal for this work-weekend is to try and get all of my bits together in order to present a semblance of a whole.
