"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. :-)"

Dan Bashaw left a comment for Julie Fradette"Hi Julie, I use a plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/) to set up simple page redirects. Using it at our root site to link to a deep page or an external page gives a 'short-ish' URL. brescia.uwo.ca/give/ is an example that…"
Julie Fradette left a comment for Dan Bashaw"Me neither :-) But when I tried to send you a message, it notified me that I could only message you if we're friends. I was curious about your experience with Wordpress as a CMS for your University website? We're a small University as well…"
Dan Bashaw replied to Dan Bashaw's discussion Migration to WordPress"Hi Julie,
My experience has been very positive. We are now running several WordPress multisites, and if I could encapsulate the results it would be:
Much improved editing experience for departmental users compared to other CMS.
Much reduced…"
Julie Fradette replied to Dan Bashaw's discussion Migration to WordPress"Cara, your links have been extremely useful. We're seriously considering migrating to Wordpress over the summer. We've used TYPO3 since 2009, which is another open-source CMS. I appreciate all the comments posted so far, but I wonder what…"

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several years ago, but since multi-lingual was not part of our workflow, the content on those pages quickly became out-of-date and were just recently removed from the site.Do any of you have pages translated to other languages?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.

I know this falls under the "web to print" industry, but I haven't found any workable services yet. Thanks!See More
