School of Humanities and Social Sciences retrieved training in the content management system and WordPress MU this morning. We’ll be using WordPress MU to power the news portions of the school and departmental websites; in addition to being a great user-friendly timesaver, WordPress MU gives significant flexibility in allowing schools and departments to have a more free-form conversation with constituents.
Additionally, John and I have been working on the new Information Technology website for most of the day. We’ve received a lot of feedback over the past two years from those of you in the trenches and are putting that feedback into practice in many instances. The end result will be an easier-to-navigate IT site dedicated to getting you in, out, and on your way. We’re also using WordPress MU to power IT news, IT outage information, and tips, tricks, and news from the folks manning the Faculty/Staff Helpdesk.
