Wow. Sorry to hear that. I can't be of much help since we haven't had much experience with the system yet. If you find the problem, do share.
We use dynamic style sheets and so for the editor, I would suggest just a strip down version that includes how your content block would act as if it was under body{}
Thanks guys!
Additionally, assign the CSS file to the CMS folder property so that the styles are applied when editing content.
Hi Rodney,
We have our root directory set up with the styles folder in it and then just embed the path to the styles sheet into our templates through Visual Studio or Dreamweaver.
Let me know if this helps.

Good morning everybody. I have a very basic question that I have already forgotten from developer training. (Embarrassed)
How would I go about adding a stylesheet to the system that I had already created outside of it?

- Typically, CSS files are not managed within the CMS. Use Visual Studio and your source control system to manage them. Copy the CSS file to your web server using FTP or other deployment option. Specify the URL to the CSS file in the CMS folder property. This is similar to how .aspx files are treated as template URLs in the Ektron CMS.

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:

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...
