On a side note, when chalking, please follow campus policy. The following is ripped from http://www.csus.edu/soal/policy_posting.htm

D. Chalking

The chalking of walkways (no walls or vertical surfaces), concrete or asphalt, to promote campus events is permissible. Chalking must be at least 30 feet away from the entrance to any building. Chalking is prohibited at the Residence Hall properties and the Bookstore Plaza. The use of aerosol spray chalk is prohibited.

Webmaster Update 4/1/10

2010-04-01T09:34:00.000-07:00

Hello Brothers,

Website Draft! o__O
I made a quick draft of a new website layout. It cuts out the expanding design I originally had and for the moment the twitter feed is on the bottom of the page until I can find a better use for the complete right side of the page.

This draft is currently being hosted at http://www.csus.edu/org/apo/draft

If you have any thoughts/comments/suggestions about the draft or you have a completely different idea of what to do, send me an e-mail: kappasigma.webmaster[at]gmail.com

New Website Features o___O!?!
Also, I am working on two other things to the site. The first is sending an e-mail via the website. The second is the FAQ page that I briefly discussed yesterday. I'm planning to include:

Syncing our google calendar to your smart/not-smartphone (if you are willing to use data or text)
Orgsync Registration
Listserv Registration
What is Chairing
Stealing Etiquette

If you have other suggestions that should be up as well, please drop an e-mail to: kappasigma.webmaster[at]gmail.com

So I don't paint myself into a corner, I'll say that the new website additions will be released when they are done. The draft however, is up now.

T-I- double "oh no~!"

2010-03-31T23:10:00.000-07:00

Marching On: Let's Make this Semester's Pledge Class As Awesome as the Last!!!

Change has come

2010-01-11T09:17:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to give a quick update about what is going on with the webmaster position as of today. I have been given admin access to our school host at http://www.csus.edu/orgs/apo/. The site is currently blank and I'll be exporting my draft from ecs.csus.edu/~johnsonj today. Also you will notice some major changes to the blog starting today. These changes are necessary to streamline the separation of the blog and the main site. I will be removing features of this blog as they become functional in our new domain.

For the future, the picture of the week will be seen as a weekly blog post here, but will be filtered to be displayed in its own section on the website.

Also, I've picked some hash tags to be used for our plan to take over the twitterverse. For our chapter, I picked #apoks. However for sectionals I'm not sure. For the moment, I'm searching for #apolympics because it is short and unique. Let me know what you guys think.

UPDATE: Everything that was on this blog and deleted has been moved to http://www.csus.edu/org/apo/
