A Few Changes Under the Hood

2010-04-03T18:44:00Z

It’s Easter - It’s Spring - It’s time for some tune ups under the hood on the web site.

We’ve been running on the current version of our web content software - ExpressionEngine - for nearly two years now. It is definitely time to run through some update procedures and sweep up some virtual dust bunnies.

We are planning to manage these over the week from April 4th - April 10.

The work will be done in the evenings for the most part. every effort will be made to prevent service interruptions. In fact it might come off without anyone noticing anything at all. But that is the best case scenario. It is better that you be prepared in the event that a hiccup bounces the website off the air for a few minutes.

Committee Blogs

2010-02-03T01:09:01Z

Now that cupe391.ca has migrated to ExpressionEngine we have options we did not have before, including giving each committee their own blog (such as this one). The latest headlines from these blogs will then appear on the homepage. Committee chairs can email website@cupe391.ca if they would like to set this up.

Also, could all chairs please review their committee page and let me know if there are any updates that need to be made to the content or members list.

Thank you.
