Final Presentation

Well I didnt end up using the mind maps I created in the official final presentation but I did find them ot be useful when I was trying to organize my thoughts.
I gave my final presentation on Wed. July 30, 2008. It went very well but I had a technical glitch in the middle when I was unable to access the Joomla version of the RYT website.

Now the work to complete the website will continue and I will be setting up a day to train the staff on how to update the site using Joomla. I will need to spend some time doing this first so I can create a user manual for the staff.

I hope to have the site delivered and the staff trained by the end of August!
