Ah, well that makes a pretty big difference. Then I'd say probably about a 15% increase in salary or $7500, whichever is more, unless they're making a pretty big jump up the ladder for it.
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 ...
One, where is this at?
Two, define appropriate. There's "higher ed" appropriate and "competitive" appropriate.
Three, how many people is the position in charge of?
I am not an OmniUpdate client, but I have had a chance to talk with their people many times, and have always been very impressed with them and their product. They made it into our top two when we were looking at CMS platforms for our redesign. Gen...
We are looking at developing a cheap solution over at nuCloud to help people with this and *could* have something ready as soon as the first of the year potentially. It would amount to an application you can log in to and provide all the appropria...
Love it!
Great conversation.
We've always been centralized as far as design, but decentralized about content.
I'm responsible for a new-ish team that controls website design... oh, and content. The afterthought. *grins*
My office is beginning to apply s...

- I run and coordinate usage of our Watchfire WebXM web health monitoring software, and administer our Google Mini search server. I will also be the admin for our CMS, once we launch in 2008. I am the code monkey half of our web team, however full-on programming is not a primary responsibility. I do write some PHP scripts when needed though, and try to oversee the creation of clean and standardized HTML and CSS for the site. I'm also the primary contact point for 508/1210 compliancy issues. I also tend to stir the pot if I think something isn't being done in a relatively efficient manner.

Book Review: Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig
"If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have caught on that I recently got into the book Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity by Lawrence Lessig, one of many that I’ve been meaning to check off my least of to-reads. Let me spoil the review by telling you not to bother reading the review, ju… Continue

Wondering if anyone can share anything about using external parties to produce a virtual campus tour? I'm looking for costs and issues -- what're the benefits of going external vs trying to produce inhouse? What are the drawbacks?
Many thanks for ...
Share your experiences using OmniUpdate CMS
Thanks for the news! And thanks to both Terry and Mark for making this possible.

We recently decided on Drupal and purchased support from Acquia Drupal. We've been pretty happy with them so far. Great response times and access to free webinars that have been pretty helpful.

Mark can I also jump on the wave. dladner@nctc.edu
Thanks
As I am new to the higher ed community, I was wondering if as a professional group do we have a professional type organization?
Secondly, is there some type of annual conference for higher ed web developers/designers, where we can get together an...
Excellent! I too look forward to watching the site continue to grow and evolve.. I personally have this site listed as my main contact site than the others. I post and read on almost daily. When compared to the other sites that I look at once a we...
Thank you so much, Michael. That's great information. We already have an internal candidate in mind, so relocating, etc. aren't issues. This person has the required education and experience. With that in mind, what would you say would be fair? Tha...
Ken, actually just got through looking at both CMS. I demoed Cascade Server and then Omni Update all in the same day. I do not think that you could go wrong with either of the systems. I loved both of them. Both are excellent CMS. But after the da...
