Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Dan Demmons's discussion Web Editor Policies- when is enough, enough?Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Patrick Yursik's discussion Digital Magazines / Publishing Platform"We used ISSUU for a number of years but moved away for a variety of reasons. We created a WP-based blog platform for our two university magazines and are pleased with it in several ways. Increased interactivity and ease of image-sharing are two that…"
Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Dan Demmons's discussion Web Editor Policies- when is enough, enough?"Dan,
I'm the content manager and strategist at Eastern Mennonite University in Virginia. We're a small private university - www.emu.edu - with about 75 web editors on campus. Occasionally, we encounter editors who, even after a lengthy…"

Jay Massey replied to Marcy Sterner Gineris's discussion Best Broken Link Checker in the group Usability"Marcy,
We are in the process of setting up a contract for SiteCheck by Siteimprove. However, I'm not sure what you would consider "cost effective." It reports on broken links, spell checking and accessibility. They have a…"

Thoughts on Google Panda?
I've been considering how Panda might impact what I do within the content on our website. In the end, I really think it will simply push me to strive for highest possible quality of content, which is a good thing! I think it will have more implications for our web designer, who works with unique tracking and the rest of our analytics efforts. Anyone have any thoughts?
Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Kristina Hickman's discussion Website Department"By the way, the selection and implementation of our CMS was a real test and turning point for our team. We all struggled with the outdated html/Dreamweaver system we used before Radiant, and now, as I said, things are going well. A CMS is a must."
Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Kristina Hickman's discussion Website Department"Kristina,
What an excellent question. I'm surprised there aren't more responses!
I think we at Eastern Mennonite University have successfully implemented Zeldman's suggestion. We have had a Web Work Team in place for nearly 10 years.…"
Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Julie Grundy Marsello's discussion How do you use your videographer?"Our photographer moved into a videographer position a year ago since we felt the pull to produce more videos for the web and for general university projects. It's been terrific - she manages 1-2 video interns a year, who primarily work on…"
Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Laurie Trow's discussion Do you indicate file size when posting pdf, doc, ppt?"I stopped because the connection speed of our visitors increases each reporting period, and a 1-2 MB download is no longer a cause for concern. Here's a disclaimer, though: if a file is upwards of 6mb I will note the size, but it's…"
Marcy Sterner Gineris replied to Laurie Trow's discussion Do you indicate file size when posting pdf, doc, ppt?"Laurie,
We did this until a year or two ago, and no longer display file size. We do however reference file format if a link goes to a PDF. We don't link to doc or ppt files on our site.
