- Sure. Now is an awkward time, though, because I've changed jobs and the site that's up right now is my predecessor's work. I can't speak for his decisions. My previous site is still up, but it's being maintained by others.
Can we talk after I've redesigned the site at the new job? It'll probably be the end of the semester.

John Strubel said… - Hi Stephanie: My name is John Strubel. I am the webmaster at Charleston Southern University in SC and I am getting ready to publish a web magazine designed for .edu web developers. One of the cornerstone features will be a series profiling university web designers and developers. Would you be interested in setting up a phone interview to discuss the college, your site and work?

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...
