@Maurier - this all looks good to me on the sandbox except the fonts of the "Data Sharing Portal" text and the "How it works" text on the home page. There are other headers on other pages that need to be fixed too. It looks like some flavor of the Times font is being used, but it should be the Ubuntu font.
Branding looks good with the exception of the Ubuntu fallback. A couple of text edits on the homepage: "How it works" to "How It Works" "The WikiWatershed Data Portal" to "Monitor My Watershed"
Fonts of headers look good now and the @HeatherBrooks tweaks are implemented. Adding the "tested" label to this one.
Sorry, our Communications Manager caught a few more things on the homepage after I left work yesterday: "water quality data" should be "water-quality data" (two occurrences) "water monitoring data" should be "water-monitoring data" WikiWatershed logo appears fuzzy because the image is 427 x 77 pixels and is being displayed at 503 x 91 pixels. In the footer, "EnviroDIY™ is presented by" should say "Monitor My Watershed® is presented by" and "fresh water through research, education, and restoration" should say "fresh water through research, education, and watershed restoration.
We'll hyphenate water quality and water monitoring if you want, but I don't think I've ever seen those terms hyphenated in any common scientific or other context.
@darsott, this is your call. I brought it up because Stroud Center communications policy is to use AP style in our public communications. AP hyphenates compound modifiers as in those terms.
@Maurier - if you could make these changes really quickly I can add the tested label back to this one.
Sure thing
Regarding @HeatherBrooks' https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/313#issuecomment-435062919 on hyphenating "water-quality monitoring", I tend to agree with Jeff that I have never seen it written that way. I understand using AP style is important, but perhaps not for all the things. For example, I just learned last month that AP would use Mr. Arscott, Mr. Horsburgh and Mr. Aufdenkampe rather than addressing us with 'Dr."
That said, I defer to @darscott on this one.
The changes suggested by @HeatherBrooks have been implemented on the sandbox. I'm going to add the "tested" label back to this one.
I don't think I've come across any common usage of the hyphen in this phrase "Water quality monitoring". I'm fine if we break the AP rules here. Dave

As @HeatherBrooks and I described in https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/237 and #287, we are modifying the branding to Monitor My Watershed at https://MonitorMyWatershed.org.
See the WikiWatershed Branding Identity for new logos. See the new branding text for the "Explore Our Companion Projects" section of the home page at the bottom of the Tweaks to Leaf Pack Experiment Data Entry Form Google Doc, as described in #287.
