A Few Notes on Updating UMW Blogs to WordPress 3.5

Back to school at UMW (Blogs)
We just finished our first week at UMW—-it was an uncharacteristically late start for us. We are usually in week two or three by now, but I am not complaining because the extra spell before game time was nice. That said, the semester has arrived … Continue reading

Domain Mapping on Google Sites and UMW Blogs
Yesterday morning I went to visit a faculty member—Andy Smith in Historic Preservation—who has been using Google sites for a project she is working on called Fred Buildings. It is actually one of the nicer sites I’ve seen built with … Continue reading → Continue reading

Then there is BuddyPress on UMW Blogs
…and oh what a beautiful thing it is. We made no special announcement, and we have kept the profile data to a bare minimum, and Martha just pulled the whole thing together with the awesome new theme (and who’s work shows no fear!).
