About This Web Site – Backend Enhancements

Upgraded Photo Gallery

Jan. 25, 2010

The photo gallery software used on the College Web site has been upgraded to the latest version of Gallery2 (v 2.3.1). This update includes some bug fixes, some performance and efficiency enhancements and a few new features on the backend. The update to the Gallery software will most likely not effect the way photo albums and galleries are viewed on the College Web site. Please if you notice any problems viewing photo albums or galleries on the Web site.

News Release Excerpts

Oct. 16, 2009

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.

Improved Performance for the Site Map and Site Index

Feb. 24, 2009

We have changed the way the site map and site index are generated on the Web site. Now, instead of attempting to build the site map and site index dynamically every time someone visits either of those pages, the site map and index are built each time a page is added to the Web site or edited. The site map and site index will load much, much faster (which also includes any “not found” pages, since the site map is loaded on all of them).
