This week I worked on uploading more of our content to the site, filling out the Secession overview page, the Leaders of the Church page, Who are the Mormons? page, updating imagery and trying to organize the website so things were in a more sensible order.
I also worked on the Story Maps – which I got to display as large as I would like in the site. In order to do that, I had to use the embed code from my story, not from the map specifically, on the site (The way it divides these two aspects is a little frustrating and makes navigation take a few more steps on the site, but once you get used to it it is not too bad). I uploaded their basic migratory pattern and the projected State of Deseret as another tap on the Story Map. A few more tabs – on battles and such – will be uploaded before long. The site itself, when you’re first making a map, will walk you through a short questionnaire to tell you which map is the best pick. That was useful because their storymap descriptions weren’t the best. One important distinction is that I’m using storymaps, not storymap, which are two different sites that do really similar things.
