New Daily Bulletin today

Posted by Jesse Rodgers on June 01, 2006 at 09:04 AM

For the readers of the Daily Bulletin you will notice a bit of change today. A new XHTML/CSS layout is showing itself on today’s June 1st issue and marks the second layout change in the 5 years I have been here. It is maintained in Contribute using a DWT and PHP scripts to automate some back end moving of files. It was an interesting experience to set up but I learned a bit about Contribute, I will post more about it later. I have posted screen shots on Flickr if you want to see the old one in all it’s glory.

update (June 2, 2006): We now have a RSS Feed for the Bulletin that is essentially what you get on uw.general except the images and links work. The down side is the extra stuff in the left comes before the stories but short of breaking that up I don’t know what to do that would work better than that. Chris doesn’t want the DB to be broken up into sections as it is one whole posting. I can’t argue with the logic as he is the editor and it is his publication ;) Thank you to Mitch (Co-op student this term) for creating the script.
