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 page:…
Thanks you guys. You have given me good tips to go on. I'm going to check out your suggestions next week and if I stumble upon anything useful I'll let you know.
I like Campaign Monitor, though they are somewhat pricey if you send often. Ive used Infusionsoft outside academia with good results. Publicaster is good too. Also iContact is worth looking at too, not as full featured on tracking, but easy to make…
Also, just as an fyi, at my last company (non-university) we used a product called Bronto, which was quite nice, but somewhat expensive compared to products like Constant Contact or Cooler Email.
Thanks for posting this, as we are going through growing pains with Constant Contact too. We use Campaign Monitor for the majority of our Alumni and Church Relations newsletters, but we've grown increasingly needy to have a quick, easy email campaig…
Hello -
I haven't been able to try it yet, but when I was researching new e-mail marketing software at my previous job (we also wanted to switch from Constant Contact) I really liked all the materials I read about Emma.
Our PR department is currently searching for a more comprehensive userfriendly email marketing campaign software. They are currently using Constant Contact and unfortunately it is not meeting their needs. We would like to send Happy Birthday notes,…
Thanks for replying. I was trying to stay in-house as much as possible. It scares me a bit maybe because I know little about WP (MT?) works. I have a blog but I use "Blogger". I am under the impression that I can push Expression Engine to help us re…
Expression Engine can grow with you as your needs change so that's not a bad idea. Wordpress, MoveableType and any other kind of blog based CMS may be a good option too since your requirements amount to creating a simple mechanism for non-web people…
Although I am a webmaster I lean more to web designer- that being said I need as much help as I can get. I am looking into creating blogging communities, having press releases and sports stories served to the website by those who do not know HTML or…
Content Management System
Discuss event calendars and calendaring - identify products, solutions, and needs
I am looking for a low cost solution for blogs, forums, simple pages, and displaying press releases. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on ExpressionEngine.
could you supply a link to the page? As others have stated it's not entirely clear what your issue is from the code you posted.
The code you have supplied will 100% give you a centered div in the browser window (again as others have said assuming y…
To center a div do this:
#container {margin: 0 auto; width:xx px;}
or
#container {margin-left: 0 auto; margin-right: 0 auto; width:xx px;}

My First Post EVER
I am indeed not from another planet but this is indeed my first post. Don't get me wrong I have read my share of blogs, but I guess I never thought I had anything important to say. I'm quite sure I still don't but I'll never know if I don't try.

- Since you are in the CMS group, I was hoping you could advise me. UB is setting up a university-wide content management system and we are exploring what best practices other universities are doing. In particular, we are trying to identify universities that are:
* Using a CMS enterprise wide, or with several departments
* Have governance or policies in place
* Have a form of centralized staffing
* And hopefully are encouraging best practices in content and user experience.
If you can take the brief survey at https://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/8727g3fd23(no longer than 2-5 minutes) it would help us gather preliminary information that will assist us in our initial phase of research. If you know of someone in your organization better suited to fill this out, please feel free to pass this along.
We are looking for initial responses by Thursday, October 15th.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or my assistant Kyriakos Zannikos (716-645-4652 or zannikos@buffalo.edu)
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has used Ustream for holding online chats and/or webinars with prospective students? Thoughts?
Are there other applications/software I should check out other than Ustream?
Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation! It's actually right here on my shelf, but I haven't read it yet….
