So far I have learned about CSS and my newly bit complicated project, pinax. After having a good talk with my professor, I now know that I have to get down and dirty to learn, acquire and use software that is available out there. So right now I am still working with CSS for the project to have different themes for different universities to use our website if they choose to do so. The following slide show is some of the university websites that I will follow.
What I am also doing is researching for many resources about Energy Savings. May it be video, websites, papers etc. One great resource that I am looking at to automatically update itself is RSS Feeds. There are may RSS feeds out there that people post to, just like a blog, that contain different materials, such as Energy Savings.
To contain the many RSS Feeds I am using Google Docs. There is a great feature in Google Docs that can gather RSS Feeds via its spreadsheets. The feature could be found here.
It is an amazing feature. This feature will update itself because it imports the feeds directly from the url that is specified in the import command. It could also retrieve the feed, feed title, feed author, feed description, feed url, items, items title, items author, items summary, items url, and items created.
The only thing I need to do is organize this information in a way that could be retrieved for the project.
Other things that I am doing is manually searching for other Energy Resources. This is done manually but should be able to be done in a couple of days.
