Preparation begins for April 11 launch of new website design

This afternoon, the college’s vendor for website content management completed implementation of a new design for shoreline.edu.

A message was sent to website editors alerting them that they now have access to the new design. This means that editors, and the Public Information Office (PIO), have from today until April 11 to clean up formatting and work out any remaining “kinks” in the design.

On Monday, the Public Information Office is hiring the first of two hourly workers who will assist with cleaning up broken formatting. The intent is to prioritize critical pages while also supporting current web editors who may not have time to fix all of the pages under their purview.

After April 11, it’s possible you may encounter pages whose formatting is irregular. If anyone points this out to you, please indicate that we are aware of this and people are working to correct it as quickly as possible.

The new design can be viewed at dev.shoreline.edu, but the homepage is not fully functional yet; it remains a work in progress. The intranet is not impacted by this change, yet…

Led by Don Thacker of Imagos Films, this is a free class by Northwest Film Forum. Some filmmakers just pick up a camera and dive headfirst into making a film project. However, many argue that before randomly picking up a camera and setting out to shoot some footage, it’s important to first do your due diligence in researching and building a base of experience and technical knowledge. This is a FREE discussion exploring the advantages and disadvantages of those two schools of thought.

APRIL IS RIDE TRANSIT MONTH

Register to log your transit trips and win prizes!

Dear Colleague,

Riding transit is awesome! It’s good for your health, pocketbook and the environment. This April, Transportation Choices Coalition (TCC) is getting more people on transit – with a friendly region wide competition to see who logs the most miles and trips.

April is Ride Transit Month. We’ll be celebrating YOU, the transit rider, whether you ride a bus, train, light rail, ferry, water taxi, or van pool.

With two light rail stations opening this month and the recent service increases in Seattle and Snohomish County, there has never been a better time to be a transit rider!

Registration is now open – and as a member of the TCC community – you get a head start! Log your transit trips in the month of April. Invite and compete with your friends. Join us at one of our many transit-oriented events!

Happy Spring and see you on the bus!
