Well, it's County Fair season...and since Cooperative Extension is involved with County Fairs I figured that it would be a good idea for the Web Action Team to go out to the fairgrounds and see what the heck it is that we support!
We started our trip to the fair with a quick awards ceremony.
Bryon was deemed a 'Super-Hero' because of some work he did programming the ANR Portal recently. The Super-Hero award trophy was a jumbo corn dog. Congrats Bryon. (Bryon- if you can explain what you did to win the award in fewer than 10 words, I'll buy you another corn dog, AND 3 tacos.)
After Bryon's corn dog...

A few weeks ago some of you may have noticed a little addition to the Meeting Calendar in the ANR Portal. This addition is a little link in the top-left corner of the Meeting Calendar which says "Resource Calendar". Clicking on this link reveals another calendar all in pink colors. Some may be asking how do I use the Resource Calendar? What does the Resource Calendar do? Or even why is it pink?

We are testing a new WYSIWYG editor on the Blogs! Please let us know how you like it compared to the old one. We hope that this one will not only be much better looking but also much easier and better to use. Go ahead and copy and paste from Word this editor should clean out all the garbage!
So go ahead and try to break it, but please let us know if you do run into any issues, or even better let us know if you like it more than the previous editor.

We just added the ability to track your Site Builder site with Google Analytics. To enable Google Analytics, you'll first need an account, which you can get here.
You will receive a code, as seen in the image. Go to Site Builder and click "Edit Site Information" under the Administration section. You will see the field available to place your newly minted code. Save the information and republish your site when prompted. That's it!
A couple of warnings about Google Analytics. First, we don't support it in any way. We only facilitate you being able to use them, and do not offer any training on running reports within Google's...

Earlier this week, the Web Action Team received honorable mention from the prestigious Larry L. Sautter Award Program, which highlights innovations and achievements in UC information technology. To celebrate, we may give ourselves an extra 21 days off next fiscal year!
In other news, we've made one upgrade to a system that warrants some announcement and explanation. We have a universal file handler that we use in many places like Collaborative Tools, Site Builder's Calendar, the Master Gardener Volunteer Management System and other applications.
