We haven't...but need to. However, our fine arts area is under a transition at the moment. Once the chaos settles...we'll see.

Thanks Garret. I'm sure we'll come to some consensus that meets all our needs. I look forward to our meeting.

I'm up for it as well. I just thought this might get the ball rolling.
I remember your collapsible boxes now that you mention them.
Also, I figured just adding the additional 4 boxes at the bottom would be a fairly simple fix as well. Maybe I'm naive. But a total redesign of the home page would take even longer... including figuring out how to do the collapsable boxes. I'm not sure I can hold off my folks much longer. They're already going to be disgruntled about the retraining.

Yeah. I thought about that as well. I'm not sure how it is on other browsers, but on IE there is losts of room to tighten up some space. The rotating blocks have lots of height that could be removed.
OR... the links to eCampus, etc. could be moved under the main photo and above the rotating boxes. But I'd hate to do that since the rotating boxes contain timely info and the eCampus links are more permanent and therefore once learned are easy to find.

Apparently I'm encountering all sorts of problems with timing out. I've got too many things going at once. Anyway, the NEW URL for the home page template mock up is http://www.cy-faircollege.com/Templates/content.aspx?pid=62178. Sorry.

My original post timed out and produced an error. Sorry for the redundancy.
I created a mock-up of a possible home page design. This is somewhat how I'd always envisioned adding these links to this page. I loaded it in the CFC College Relations Document Manager (http://www.cy-faircollege.com/Templates/content.aspx?pid=62173) if you'd like to take a look. This is just a draft. The images definitely need finesse. I hate the dark blue background on My Records. Thoughts?

Understandable. I've just had Monica Norem requesting this for ages and she's very persistent. I guess it's yet another topic I'll bring up to Garret tomorrow.

O.K. Now I've got a request to start blogging functionality at our college. Anyone doing this? What are you using?

I've heard of it but never used it. Virginia probably got the right information about it not working in Estrada. Could we ask to folks at Gandolf if they have any recommendations or if any of their other customers have successfully used a link check tool? Who would we talk to?

No. I haven't checked out xenu yet, but I plan to. I do know that Estrada currently does not have a reporting tool that checks broken links, especially links outside our own site. I don't know what the upgrade includes, but that's a different thread.

Do any of you use a third-party software to check for broken links within Estrada? Chris Duffy had once mentioned xenu at http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html.

I'm meeting with Garrett this Thursday and he's also supposed to meet with the rest of the college cooordinators. I'll be sure and bring it up. Our dean of the Fairbanks Center is really ready to have a permanent spot on the home page and will take it higher if I don't report back what action is being conducted.

I like MC's list as well. However, I'm also going to have to find a spot for Fairbanks Center and for the Harris County Public Library.

Sounds like we're waiting on Estrada. I've been out so I'm not sure of the status yet. I'm just posting this message so I'll be subscribed to this discussion forum.
