We took our annual trip to the Yolo County Fair today! It's our chance to see "ANR in Action." We visited the Yolo UCCE booth, the many UCD, IPM and RICs displays, the 4-H stuff (including a trip through the livestock barns) and of course, our friends from the Master Gardener program.
I only got one photo, but it pretty much defines the state of IT within ANR.

Most of the web guys have had Facebook accounts since Mark Zuckerberg was still cramming for a Poly Sci final. However, only now do we have official UCANR Facebook accounts.
People ask us frequently about Facebook, and since our private accounts are laced with all manner of unsavory content, we opted to create new ones that you can "like."
So, please search for Dave Krause, Bryon Noel, Alex Zangeneh-Azam, and Karl Krist should you want to connect with us (use the @ucdavis.edu account if you see more than one). We may post smallish Web updates there, as if you need an incentive.

According to our Blog stats, 74% of you read the Web/IT blog while in the bathroom, presumably taking a luxurious bath, the scent of exotic oils and candles relaxing you into a perfect moment of Zen which is the exact state of mind you should be in when reading our posts.
Chances are, if you're reading this in the bathroom, you're using a mobile device. We've been eager to optimize our applications for the mobile web for some time now, so last week we furiously cranked out a mobile version of the Portal and Collaborative Tools.
Keep in mind, these are VERY preliminary. We expect to enhance, beautify and grow our mobile environment as time and resources permit. Please...

Once again the Web Action team is releasing something new! Something that many have asked for one way or another. Currently you may track your blogs statistics using the built in visits counter (which is not precise at all). Or you may use Google Analytics. Which works great except for the fact that your blog may be incorporated into many different Site Builder 2 and Site Builder 3 sites and Google Analytics cannot track these. This makes tracking blog stats almost impossible... Until now!
I would like to introduce to you "Blog Stats Beta"! These stats differ in that they gather data not only about each blog but data about each blog post is tracked individually. The stats are counted for any location that the Blog...

A couple weeks ago we released the Custom Maps Asset for Site Builder 3 only to de-release it the same day. After we released it we found that people needed several ways to enter locations into a map. We took advantage of this time to add a few new features to the map before re-releasing the new and improved Custom Maps.
The new and improved Custom Maps allows much more flexibility in creating maps. Now you can choose locations through different methods. If you know The locations address you may simply enter the address and the location will automatically be chosen based on the address. The other method is by selecting the location on the map...
