Paid help needed / finish setting up a TW Newsletter

[Patrick Cormier]

Hello,

If you are interested helping me do the following, please send me a brief message to pat...@patrick-cormier.info telling me:
- Your fixed price for A
- Your fixed price for B
- Your hourly rate for anything outside the scope of A and B

I’m more than happy to share back the resulting TW file...

All the work below relates to this file:

http://bit.ly/digitransfo-newletter-1712

A. A fixed price for this:
- [ ] Create / show me how to use a CSS tiddler allowing the easy setting of font defaults for TW UI fonts (e.g. sidebar content, tiddler content, tables look & feel - cell padding, header row background and text color and font, other rows text font and table lines color). You can assume the fonts are available in distinct tiddlers (I uploaded them to the TW file)
- [ ] Show how to custom modify a single table cell background color (not cell text background / the whole cell background) and cell text font color, weight and size
- [ ] Correct current smudgy aspect of text appearing under the tabs in the sidebar
- [ ] Show how to insert banner image on top of or below sidebar menu
- [ ] Finish adjusting the Color palette so the drop-down content and buttons all look ok
- [ ] Add the following discrete hyperlinked white icons (transparent background) in the sidebar area: website, Email,Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium (and show me how to update the URLs)
- [ ] Add an tiddler-hyperlinked icon similar to the icons above in the same area with “CC” in it, “patrick-cormier.info” on its right; show me how to update the tiddler link; I will create the tiddler (to explain the Creative Commons license of the newsletter content)

B. A fixed price for this:
- [ ] Showing me how to properly setup a github page to host my TW file. I tried and I’m lost (never worked with github)
- [ ] Telling me what CNAME record I need to add so my sub domain correctly points to the TW file hosted on github (I will add the CNAME record myself)
- [ ] My web site patrick-cormier.info is hosted by Squarespace. It allows the inclusion of HTML code “in” a page but the page already has header, footer, etc. I would like to know what to change in the raw HTML TW file so I can embed the TW file in my website on a page without messing up header and footer. If I include as is, it currently messes up the page (I tried)

C. An hourly rate for anything extra that comes up.

Thank you!

Patrick

Re B.3, how did you try inserting your TW? The first thing I would try is an <iframe> inclusion.

Good luck!
Mark

Hi Mark!

Thanks. Squarespace allows the inclusion via a Administrator UI adding a "Code Block" - see:

For someone that knows what they are doing, I think it should not be too hard, but that person is not me (!) ;)

Hi Pat,

Assuming that your TW file is loaded on the same server and in the same directory, I would try using the "code" element and inserting

<iframe src="NAMEOFTIDDLYWIKIFILE.html" width="100%"/>

Where of course NAMEOFTIDDLYWIKIFILE.html is your file.

I assume that you want to use the tools built into Square for editing convenience? I'm guessing that Square has some setting that lets you pick some file other than the Square default as your main (index) page. Putting TW inside another web page is not ideal.

Good luck!
Mark

Hi Mark & Patrick,

As per this answer, it seems the proper way to iframe on squarespace is using some sort of "embed".

Best wishes -tb

This is where the current draft of the newsletter is published:

https://notarius.com/media/pcormier/digitransfo/tw/

This is where the latest version of the help I need is published - I received only one proposal, it would be great to have at least two... See:

Thanks!!

Ciao Patrick

I can't help you not being a programmer.

I DO however find your seeking paid help is EXCELLENT.

I read your spec on Google Docs and its pretty clear. Clear enough for a bidder to pitch.

I'd really like to know whether that route pans out for you.

Best wishes
Josiah

Thanks Josiah!

Thanks for the encouragement. Not only will I report back, but I will share back the resulting TW file and what I have learned.

Cheers

Pat
