Website Update: New Features

As part of our effort to continually improve our web site and staff intranet, there are a few changes we would like you to be aware of.


1. The Staff Intranet link that you use to log on to the staff update has changed. It is now a drop down menu. Click the site button to see all of the options you have, including the staff intranet. Click the more button to go to the blog where you can read, comment and/or add a new blog to the web site.

2. The website is self centered in browser window. You may notice white space on either side of the webpage.


3. Coming soon, we will be adding Meta tags and descriptions to each page allowing for better web find ability. Also, the program and course webpage addresses or URLs will include the title of the page will also increase each pages’ web find ability.

Your "improvements" just add more clutter and complexity to an already user-unfriendly website. If you really want to "improve" the site, make it simpler. Even your explanations are unreadable. Do you go out of your way to make things difficult, or does it come naturally?

When users log in by typing their email and password, they should be taken directly to the Staff Update page. No intermediate steps, no drop down boxes, no techy terms like intranet and wiki. Clean and simple.

Thanks for your feedback. The website software was updated which is why we these buttons were added. I understand the extra steps and buttons are confusing. I am in the process of having this changed so that we can have a link/button again and less options. Because the login isn't only used to access the Staff Update/Intranet (many staff have permissions to add items to the website) it doesn't make sense to have the login go directly to the Staff Intranet at this time.
