Well, after almost a year and a half of solid publishing and more than 30,000 posts, UMW Blogs has finally got frontpage link real estate on the UMW Homepage. I guess we’re kind of official, now if we could just get the homepage to feed in posts from the UMW Blogs community so that it wouldn’t be so painful to look at. A recent post on Reefer Madness on UMW Blogs would provide a much needed boost for the brochure logic of our site.

Cheers!
Glad to hear it may be of use, you may want to edit out my sarcasm, however, I do’;t think I am always the best spokesman
@Marjorie,
Let us know if we can help you in any way. Also, glad to have found your blog through the link, consider me subscribed.
Is there any collaboration with the CompSci department, or outside people? I think that would be really neat, and get students working on real projects.
We have always been the MAN! And now we just have the huge stick to swat people with!
@Eric,
I agree, and after seeing the awesome work you are doing with Django, not to mention your post a day for a month in November, I wish you were still at UMW. But you see to be an alumni making good by making the most of these tools and applications, congratulations!
@Alec,
I think Brian Lamb owns me in the angst department
btw that edit timer is intense!
You may be in luck. Some of the software that I’m planning is going to be really useful for communities of any kind; planned for tech communities, but UMW is a fine candidate as well.
Also, I have been wanting to do a good Fredericksburg/UMW event calendar (it’s severely lacking) for a while, and I’m a good designer away from launching one. I’m not in Va anymore, but I still want to create some cool stuff for the Community there, because it was lacking, and I know it can be a great one.
We should talk more about that calendar, for you are so on the mark with that. Would you be using the ical spec? We need something that can feed calendar events, Jon Udell has been working on something like this at http://elmcity.info/events, which as a calendar/events engine has some real potential, if you don;t know his stuff, check out http://blog.jonudell.net
All that shows is that I have gamed google! Also, the comments editing plugin is here: http://www.raproject.com/ajax-edit-comments-20/
Damn, I can’t even do that right
And andrea_r (proprietor of WPMu Tutorials) is the real go to person for WPMu, I can’t count the times she has helped me out of a jam on the forums. She rules.
@Stephen,
Thanks, it means a lot coming from you, your work is a constant inspiration for thinking though these tools. So a huge hat tip to you for your consistency, rigor, and refusal to compromise, all traits I admire and do my best to emulate in my own work with widely varying degrees of success
