Journal Entry #3 (Sean Beharry)

The Greater New York Postal Consumer Council (PCC) website had a few errors on the back end that needed to get taken care of. I contacted Parker Web (the web design company PCC hired) about one the problems that needs to be resolved. A week later they sent me a email asking if I fixed the problem, when the whole point of me contacting them was for them to fix it. Since its a back end issue and I didn’t create the site I wouldn’t try to alter any coding or else I might mess something up I’m not aware of. The problem was the plugin for the photo gallery, it had a back end problem which wouldn’t allow anyone to upload image galleries via Word Press. Parker Web was uploading images via FTP totally ignoring the problem so I had to let them know that wasn’t very professional. Also they had a link to their website in the footer of the PCC website, basically free advertising. I asked the PCC board if they approved and they said no, so I had Parker Web also remove their link from the footer.

    Dear Sean,

    It sounds like you are making some real improvements to the PCC website. A few pointers about your writing:
    1. Use the past tense consistently. In this sentence ” I contacted Parker Web (the web design company PCC hired) about one the problems that needs to be resolved.” you should have used the word “needed.”
    2. Try to avoid slang or informal expressions. For example, “else I might mess something up I’m not aware of.” would be better as: “because I might create a new problem.”

    Sincerely,

    Professor Mason
