Blog for staff at U of Waterloo
Today we opened up a blog dedicated to staff issues at the University of Waterloo that is hosted by the UW Staff Association. At the moment I am the only one writing for it but that is sure to change as other Past Presidents. The idea of the blog is to keep staff informed on issues and give them a chance to have a conversation on topics important to them.
I decided to go with Expression Engine for this blog. It offers a load of options and it has a pretty powerful template engine. Where it has driven me a bit nuts is just figuring out how it works. Being use to WordPress prettiness or even Simplelog on this site, Expression Engine has a lot of features. Thankfully you can ignore them! I will post more about Expression Engine when I get a chance.
Hopefully the UWSA blog will be useful to staff in all higher education institutions. I don’t think we will post only about Waterloo although there will be a lot of examples from Waterloo
