Aspiring and professional photographers that use Flickr are encouraged to submit their pics of our bucolic campus warrens to our new Flickr Group. Subject matter? People, places and things both iconic and off-the-beaten-path. Photographs that make the cut will be celebrated on our homepage (that’s union.edu in case you forgot). Sorry no cash prizes in these cash-starved times but hey, maybe I will consider lunch on me at Reamer.

Look forward to seeing your pics (and this little contest of ours is open to all).

Thanks.

Tweeting Alumni

Thank you Twitter. I am finding the lists function a great way to tame all those endless Tweets.

Confused?  Head over here to find out what all the fuss is about.

Two lists I created yesterday enable me to more closely follow Union-affiliated Twitterati. First there is “union-tweets” which follows all officially-sanctioned Union College accounts. And then is “union-college-alumni” which I hope eventually will list every single Tweetin’ Union graduate.

Please let me know if I missed anyone…

There is an exuberant spirit of creative adventurism clearly manifest in some folk’s proclivities to express their muse via webpage design (or redesign as the case may be).

“Let’s slather some blue over those buttons, dose liberally with Flash, and is it ever possible to have too many links?”

That sort of thing. Continue Reading »

Judging by the uptick in comments and traffic, one way to boost traffic is to post about your profound disappointment with your numbers.

Well done Jason! Your plan worked flawlessly. Continue Reading »

Last year the graphic design of Union’s web site was changed to accommodate more real estate for more content. This was a quick overhaul to correct immediate problems, with the expectation that “something better” was still on its way. There was a lot of feedback after the launch, and a recurring theme was the desire to be included in discussions of web redesign.

Now the “something better” train has left the station and the Reboot process has begun. Yet the blog isn’t overwhelmed with comments. Is it the topics? Not enough people know we’re here yet? Continue Reading »
