Hey there! We went through the same things at our college, here's what we did:
1. We don't have an admissions blog, we do have an open blog for our student interns though. They are allowed to post anything and everything, at least 1 post a week i...
My boss recently sent me a link for FinalSite (http://www.finalsite.com) and wants me to look into it for designing our new website, as well as other content management duties. Just wondering if anyone has used it yet, or if there is something els...
1) This isn't very consistent, we could have nothing for a couple weeks, and then get hit with 3-4 stories in a week. We typically try to update at least once a week.
2) We have a Marketing/Communications Department that is in charge of writing a...
I gotta repeat what someone said further up: Twitter for universities is not about putting stuff out there and expecting prospective students to subscribe to you. That's a whole different choice. They'll do that when they've already made the decis...
You have to not let it get personal.
And then you agree to put it up and test it. If it's shown to have a negative impact on that departments goal (web sign ups) then it will come down. If it increases the departments goal then it can stay.
And ...
My response to the question at http://cuwebd.ning.com/forum/topics/web-team-management might be of some help to you.
Our college district has five campuses, but two full-time Web employees: the webmaster (David) and the Web content editor (me). During our recent redesign, we took the approach of doing our IA and content writing with the different audiences in mi...
I'm at a bigger school, but only in a tiny department. So our approach might be helpful to you. Keep in mind that while you seem to be on the content side, I tend to be more of the developer side of the coin.
We setup a committee which controls t...
We are a small college and I'm the only person that is in charge of the content (excluding news stories) that go online. I sometimes get videos given to me that a Faculty member wants on their department's page, but in my opinion it's not a good v...
Right now I'm making an online training class for Moodle, in Moodle. I'm incorporating the different types of media you can use in Moodle, as well as creating videos that walk the faculty through how to do things in Moodle, using my screen and my ...
We are experimenting with Twitter. We have developed a competition to try to encourage them to tweet, but so far, not too much traction.

Re: Teens Don't Tweet, some food for thought:
http://twitter.com/bradjward/status/3328410709
It seems most Twitter accounts go 1 of 2 ways:
1) simply index your RSS feed from another source
2) interact with other Twitter users
Most teens and celebrities choose #2 but I think for companies and universities it makes more sense to publish ...
We have a Twitter account for our university. We use it more as a tool to keep current students and alumni up on what's going on on and around campus. It took off slow, but is starting to gain some momentum. The important thing is "listen" just as...
Although we haven't had much success with Twitter as a recruitment tool, we have had far more success in it's use as a support tool for existing students and for alumni communications. In both cases the cost and ease of use of Twitter by both the ...
We have gone back and forth many times about how to launch a twitter account, what kind of account it should be and on. Currently, we have an account parked, locked in private, without any updates so we are ready should we need it immediately.

Off topic, but the hide/show social media icon bar on your site is very well done.
Global footer that says "We're Hiring". It is one of our top visited pages.
Thanks for the feedback - the backstory here is that our HR office has requested to be on the homepage, but the college's Web Advisory committee has been refusing the request. I thought a link in the global footer would be a nice solution, so I'm ...

Yes, we list it on the homepage. Our HR person requested this as part of our redesign about a year ago and I thought it made sense.
