  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.

  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.

  I’ll be in Atlanta, GA for the next couple days for the Cascade Server Users’ Conference. Cascade Server is, of course, the content management system which will be powering the new-look College website next year. (Read more about that project at webdev.cofc.edu, our Web Development resources site.)

  I’m looking forward to bringing back gobs of information to help make the College’s content management system really rock out in the coming months. I’ll be blogging the conference here, so stay tuned!
