The transition from Drupal to WordPress is now complete. The MSC Department of Humanities now has a squeaky clean new web site.

As you will notice, the first thing that’s changed is the design, incorporating a more dynamic layout that uses lots of photography and images. I have tried to make navigation as intuitive as possible. I invite you to look around. If something seems to be missing, try a search. If it is really missing, shoot me an email (gerald [dot] lucas [at] maconstate [dot] edu).

I have made all member of faculty and staff accounts on the web site. As I mentioned above, it’s built with WordPress, so posting to the site is as easy as using a word processor. If you’re interested in contributing, email me for your user name and password. If we have enough interest, I can even hold a brief training seminar about the web site early next year.

I’d like to encourage everyone to use the site. Part of having a web presence is providing frequent updates. You might consider: instead of sending email to everyone about an upcoming meeting or event, post it to the web site. This will encourage interested folks to make frequent stops at our site. You can even subscribe to our RSS feed using your favorite syndication reader. The more folks that subscribe, the better our web presence and the more potential for growth in our programs. You might also consider making comments on various posts — another way to show how vibrant and engaged our academic community is.

So welcome. Leave any comments or suggestions below.
