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.

Crunch week for the Web Development Project is in progress. I’ve used this morning primarily for triage of all remaining issues to pound through and fix, aiming to get the new cofc.edu out the door in the first part of next week. We’re nearly there, but there’s still some infrastructure adjustments before go-live.

Day 2 of training the School of Business in Cascade. Later today, we turn our attention to infrastructure as we’ll be working out the load balancing for the frontend webservers. My life is glamorous — MLIG?

Trying something different with the work blog — after seeing this theme, P2, demonstrated at WordCampRDU this weekend, I felt as if this could be useful as a pseudo-Twitter to better document what I’m up to. Hope I can stick with it.

Busy week ahead. Look-and-feel work on the MyCharleston portal continues, Cascade Server migration continues, and a lot more. We’re training the School of Business web maintainers this week in the Cascade Server system. School of Business has been working very hard on redeveloping their site from the ground-up, and it will be the force of a combined effort that will get this thing done.
