Week 11 progress

In this week, I am still following the timetable set in my system plan. What I did during this week is blew:

1. Revise the system plan report
After the peer learning, I had received several valuable suggestions. According to the feedback, I revised the system plan report.

2. Make a big change in my project
At start, there is a download function in my project. After my second thought, I think this function seems quite useless. Therefore, I deleted this function and planed to add an administration function instead. This function aims to help me, the owner of the website, to more easily manage the information stored in the database such as news or guest messages.

3. Finish the design of the administration function
This function is used to manage two important tables of my project in the database: the news table and guest message table. After logging in the administration page, I can choose to see the information stored in the database. Furthermore, in the news administration page, I can also insert new news into the database.

4. Change the guest book page of my project
Because I have decided to transfer some functions in my guest book page into the guest book administration page, I have modified the guest book page to suit my new system plan. In this new guest book page, I removed the function which shows all the messages on the page. Instead, the new page has been separated into two parts: a form which is used to leave a message for me, and some contact information about me. Following is two screen-shots of the old and new guest book page. The first one is the old page and the second picture is the new page for comparison:



Next week, I am going to work on the administration part of my project, including the page design and implementation and the admin authentication function.
