Hi Tim,
A few comments:
1. Making the large image so big that it pushes your news content below the fold is an interesting design decision. I realize you're placing the emphasis on "telling the story," which I think is right on, but aren't a lot...
I've been saying all week that I'll post this "when the site is ready." But nothing is ever ready on the web, and the cleanup on the long tail of our site will continue for a while, so I'll just ask:

Hey Tim,
I use Google Calendar with a java script that displays it in an unordered list.
I can easily publish it in different ways, and share it with other Google Accts.
My ghetto solution works really well so far, though it's not really the mo...
I dunno, I don't like the juxtaposition of the labels "Parents & Families" and "Kids & Families." I'm not even sure why kids would be important enough to earn such a high billing in navigation. Other than that, they do a nice job of space manageme...
I just came across the UVA web site recently. And while I've been focusing on radical streamlining of university web sites, they do such a good job of organizing the traditional "university web site for all audiences," I'd like to hear more about ...

For those of you who have gone down this path, or are considering it now - a few questions.
Who was your primary audience? From my research the consensus appears to be current students, faculty, staff and visitors. Only a few had any specific con...
If you have the hands-on experience with Joomla, then I would recommend that you go with what you know (even though both Drupal and dotCMS are very nice in their own right).
Before working at the junior college I am at now, I had never worked in ...
At this point in time we are moving toward an ActiveCampus "Portal" implementation (to replace our existing WebAdvisor system online for students). Based on the specs I've been given by Datatel, this implementation will involve the "Portal" server...
A place for all things facebook. I would like to see us have one place for facebook discussions for now on.

If you look at the code GA puts in your pages, you'll see a line of javascript like this:
pageTracker._trackPageview();

Here at ISU, we have one person doing the posting to/from/about our social media sites (Facebook, Twittier, Ning, Orkut, YouTube, Bloggers, MySpace) and we have created a system of linking the site(s) to each other and integrating our Admissions i...
Is there truly a portable code? I have been using Model Glue for the past 7 months and still wouldnt like to think I had to port any of it to another app. Obviously there are a load of CFCs that would happily move across but there is still a lot o...

Is there a way to link up two different URLs that both go to the same page through Google Analytics to provide a full view of stats?
We use Ingeniux as our CMS, and enabled the structured URLs for all pages, rather than the standard xIDs. Dependi...
