A few days ago, I came up with the idea to embed some of my project deliverables into these blog posts. The idea is that my Honors Chair can view some of these planning documents as I go and not have to wait until the project's build phase to see them.
I'm a little concerned with my Honors work being "out there." It's not that I feel shy about others seeing it, even though these are still early days yet. It's because I don't want anyone stealing, using, taking credit for my work for their own purposes. One way to prevent that is to make this blog private and assign viewing permission via specific email addresses. This would require people to log in. I'll have to think about whether that extra step is worth it.
In the meantime, here is one of my workhorse documents, the Timeline. I'll be updating and modifying the Timeline throughout the duration of this project, but it gives me an overall picture of what I will do, how long it will take me, and the amount of work remaining.
This timeline was created with Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and meant to be viewed horizontally. I saved the file as a .pdf which changed the layout a bit. I'll have to do some research to see if saving documents as a .pdf protects the content in any way.
Hi, Claire! Because your Google doc wasn't shared, I couldn't see anything. Of course, you don't have to share it, but at the end of your post, I was just getting a blocked access page.
ReplyDeleteAs far as your PDF layout issues, it probably has more to do with Excel's print layout than it does with the conversion to PDF. (The "conversion," I'm guessing is simply a print preview that is saved to PDF.)
