I agree. We started sending out Thanksgiving and Christmas cards last year. It was my first time, but I did exactly what you said. For Thanksgiving, I created the page: http://www.st-aug.edu/thanksgiving.htm and for Christmas I created another pag...

I was adding content the day the change happened, which is how I found out. Didn't know about it beforehand. Can't say I'm crazy about the new look, but I do like that updates to Pages are now being streamed to Fan's feeds. I'm hoping that once th...

There's no real "professional organization" per se yet. The HighEdWeb group had been working on something like that though, but I'm not sure where they are at in that process. As for conferences, I'd generally recommend HighEdWeb and EDUWeb.

Without looking in to the cost of living up the Rhode Island way, if I were looking at it I wouldn't even apply for less than $70K (but I figure in a cost of living increase, plus moving costs, etc. I'm greedy, but I also wouldn't move across the ...
