Hello all,
Wondering how many members host their college web sites in house and how many contract the services of an external host? What factors lead to your decision? If you host your site in house, who does the server maintenance- yourself/someone…
We've been exploring SocialEngine for the last few weeks and just made the purchase this morning. It has "subnetworks" within your installation, which I believe will help you keep folks separate and achieve what you're looking for. We bought one lic…

Same story at SUNY-ESF -- Ning network for accepteds rolled out 1/08 with a plan to 'retire' it, well, now actually, and then to relaunch for the next class. The network had student ambassador and admissions staff members, and it included dedicated…

Hi Fellow Canadians,
I'm looking for recommendations on email marketing providers that are based (or at least their server is based) in Canada. I've been using MailChimp out of the US, and it's great, but because of BC's privacy law I can only gath…

I've just started to experiment with Drupal, and I'm going to get the FCKeditor module up and running next. I work at a very Microsoft-centric school, and I'd really like the next version of our site to be in a LAMP environment with an open-source CMS. This will probably take some convincing, so I'm trying to educate myself before the project begins in earnest.
Thanks again!

So if I understand it correctly, this would include adding information about the content of each page which describes and identifies the content. Then, if someone searches the site for information about, say, tuition, res life or a degree program, the system uses the metadata to serve up relevant pages, create bread crumbs and links to related pages dynamically.
I saw that your pages use breadcrumbs and are tagged at the bottom, so I was wondering if you created metadata for each chunk of content in your site in your CMS to create the tags and the breadcrumbs.
Thanks, and sorry for rambling on!
I'm curious to know how you approached the task of using meta data to organize your new site.
