The Staff Relations Committee is pleased to announce some changes to the Fondren Library Staff News blog! The university’s general purpose blogging and content management system, blogs.rice.edu, moved to a more robust WordPress platform with many popular themes, plug-ins, widgets and other features. Rice University has contracted with CampusPress by EduBlogs to provide the new cloud-hosted environment. Details on the new features can be found in http://about.blogs.rice.edu.
Over the weekend of May 28-31, the full contents of our blog were moved into the new CampusPress environment. In addition to the new platform, the SRC decided to spruce up the layout of the blog. We have a new theme and features including the long awaited “Subscribe by email” function located on the right column. This feature will allow staff members to receive an email whenever a new post has been added to the blog. More details will be announced at the Staff Association meeting on Friday, June 12!
