"Hello Dan,
Thank you for the plugin suggestions! I will be testing them out in the days to come. After everything I've read, I now feel confident that Wordpress will be a good choice for us. :-)"

Experience with Sitefinity CMS?
We are considering using the Sitefinity CMS and was wondering if anyone is using it or has any experience they would be willing to share.

Sandra, I work with Philabian at Colgate, and I'd also be willing to answer any questions you might have. I have a lot of experience with Sitefinity from the user/content creation perspective, while he is a development guru with it -- so hopefully we can address any of your specific interests!

HI Jason -
Sitefinity is a finalist in our search for a new CMS so I'd be interested in talking with you for 30 min or so to get some questions answered and better understand the user experience from a content perspective. I manage the content for our site as well as train/help our non-technical content contributors. Are you available for a quick conversation tomorrow or early next week?
Thanks,
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
Early next week looks like the best opportunity for me. Let's arrange the call via e-mail. You can reach me at jkammerdiener@colgate.edu.

My experience has been very positive. We are now running several WordPress multisites, and if I could encapsulate the results it would be:

Dan Bashaw replied to Mark Mazelin's discussion Website Translation Services"Given a relatively small volume of pages, it is probably best to handle this manually, ensuring that your workflow triggers a translation when the English version of the page changes. With this approach you can use either local translators, or…"
Mark Mazelin posted a discussionWebsite Translation Services
I've been tasked with getting some of our website translated into Spanish and Chinese. We had some pages translated into Spanish several years ago, but since multi-lingual was not part of our workflow, the content on those pages quickly became out-of-date and were just recently removed from the site.Do any of you have pages translated to other languages? Do you use a 3rd-party service to do it, or someone on campus with those skills? Or an automated service like Google translate?For those of…See More
Michelle L. Monti replied to Michelle L. Monti's discussion Questioning the Value of College Holiday Videos"Thanks for responding, Erik! I agree and like your point about it being a different kind of piece without a call to action. Those projects have their place, but is sometimes hard to justify carving out the time for them."
Erik Hagen replied to Michelle L. Monti's discussion Questioning the Value of College Holiday Videos"We did one in 2012 and 2013, but not 2014. We initially got caught up in the buzz because everyone was doing them, and it seemed like a fun idea. But this last cycle we were so busy with other projects we couldn't justify carving out the time.…"
Erik Hagen posted a discussionDynamically adding text to a PDF
We're looking for a service or tool that will let employees create their own business card and have a press-ready PDF sent to our print shop. Ideally the employee would type in their info into a form, and that text would be dropped into a predefined PDF template. I know this falls under the "web to print" industry, but I haven't found any workable services yet. Thanks!See More
