The navigation menus of the LFCC Web site have been updated making it easier to distinguish between a “parent” and “child” page. On any sub-page, a parent page will appear in bold and bullet points will appear next to the sub-navigation (child) items in the menu.

Links to Individual Employees
Two new features have been added to the employee directory:
- The name of each employee within his or her entry in the directory is now a link, allowing users to click and visit the contact information for an individual employee.
- Where applicable, the “alternative contact” for each employee now links to the directory entry for that alternative contact, making it easier for visitors to contact alternates when the desired employee is not available.
These changes will make it easier for visitors to use the employee directory, and also allow the webmaster to begin linking to individual employees throughout the Web site (rather than repeating contact information throughout).
News Release Excerpts
The home page has been updated again. This time, we have updated the way the latest news releases are displayed in the bottom-right area of the home page. In addition to the news release headline, a short excerpt from the news release is now displayed with the headline.
In addition, we now have the ability to publish these excerpts from our news releases directly to the official College Twitter account, so you can keep up with College news from within your Twitter feed.
Contact Information Added to Course Descriptions
Contact information has been added to the lists of course descriptions. Now when you view the list of course descriptions for a specific discipline, a list of faculty members will appear on the left side of the page. The list of faculty members is based on the information provided in the “disciplines taught” section of the employee directory. For instance, if you view the list of biology courses offered at the College, you will also see a list of the faculty members who indicated in their employee directory entries that they teach biology.

Contacting Us is Now Easier
Find Us More Easily – Map Links Added to Site
Throughout the Web site, wherever the physical addresses for any of the College locations appear, those addresses now link to a Mapquest Web page showing where the address is located and allowing users to easily obtain personalized directions.
Improved Style Sheets
The style sheets used to control the appearance of the Web site have been improved and enhanced. In addition to some stylistic changes within the style sheets themselves, the content management system (CMS) has been updated to allow these style sheets to be cached, which will help improve the speed and performance of the Web site.
