Hello there.
I was wondering what qualifications you look for in a Web Developer/Designer. I have been working in the private sector for almost a year and I want to be a full time developer for a university. I want to spend the next few months ob...
I agree with Nathan - you do not want flash in your HTML email. You can have the HTML email look like the start of a movie.. or whatever graphics you want in there.. but when clicked - the user should be taken to a web site where a full web browse...

How are you looking to point users to the Flash file? I don't know the most recent stats on Flash visibility through email clients but I remember in the past the argument was against sending a pure Flash file through email. Instead the suggestion ...
We recently tested Joomla vs. Drupal and arrived at some of the same conclusions as previous posters. In the end, with as large as we need the site to be, we settled on Drupal. It has yet to be seen if we've made the right decision. I'll get back ...
It's not for our school, but it is a pretty decent description of a social media intern position:

I do all 'main university' type postings in FB and Twitter and act as the 'voice' of the accounts adding personal touches here and there, such as personal questions or greetings.

As I review admissions pages and applications, I've discovered there are few admissions pages that have an easy to find call to action to apply. The norm seems to be scanning a lot of text to find the "to apply" choice.
John,
Not sure if you've seen this already, but check out Common Admissions Application. Looks like a number of higher ed schools across the country use it.
Justin, just got through with an OmniUpdate CMS demo. The application is unbelievable. It is awesome. If we had the money we would right the check right there. What is cool about the company is they are trying to work with us. I think that this sp...

Thanks for the invite.
Not sure about the interview though, I'm still getting used to developing in an edu environment and we're swamped with projects right now.
It is good to know there is a web magazine that might focus on our collective situations in edu, though.
I think there might be an opportunity to integrate your .edu Profiles project with this site, maybe by pulling an RSS feed into this site. Give it some thought this weekend and we can explore the idea further when we talk on Monday.
I'm honored that you would ask but I'm not interested in being interviewed at this point. -Larry
I am happy to meet you and to join the group.
I will take a look at your book. I am happy to know a famous(?) author. I look forward to sharing ideas with you.
Nice to meet a Plattsburgh grad! Your book sounds very interesting - let me know if that is a bit of news you'd like me to pass along here. I'm sure there would be a great deal of interest in it.
How are things at Charleston Southern University? Warmer than up here, I'll wager. A few ticks above zero here this morning...
Are you a native of the north country? I'm from Buffalo, but have been working here since July 2001.
Next time you are on campus I'll take you out for lunch!
