What about members who *want* to use Wave? No invite yet.
One other thing -- by breaking down the content into smaller pieces we can use the content in other websites. Each department and program site can have the major requirements and courses listed -- we're just including the content from the catalogu...
Up until this year our process is quite similar to yours. The change we made this year was to put all those Word documents into the CMS (Cascade) broken down into one page per section and one page per course. The catalogue website then uses PHP to...
BeeTagg worked well on my Blackberry, but I'll need to test it more on other phones.

Worked great with tags created by:

It just crashes itself or tells me my camera isn't working (but after I've taken the picture.)
I checked out the reader at http://www.i-nigma.com and it's extremely easy to download. Unfortunately my Blackberry (8300 curve) is protesting. Will troubleshoot later.

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...

For folks who use (or are interested in) Hannon Hill's Cascade Server CMS product
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 ...

We're planning on sending out a Flash-based Christrmas greeting via email. I'm wondering what maximum file size we should be aiming for. (i.e.

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.

I dont know if its served me well - its only been a few months - but I have only a short descriptive 'graph that I used.

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...
