Right now, I am sitting in Cynthia Kintigh's portion of the web tools workshop. Although we haven't gotten to the "how you can use this information" portion of the show, so far it's been an interesting overview of marketing.
My stomach is so sour from candy, scones and coffee that I may have to only eat one burger at In-n-Out today.
Cynthia just covered branding. The ANR and UCCE brand is diverse and difficult to convey concisely.
I just ate some Whoppers. They are my favorite treat to eat during movies. I'm not sure what the brown coating is on the malt ball, but I'm fairly certain it's not chocolate.
Now Cynthia is covering templates, asking if people like them or not. I'm making a list of the...

I too am in Alex's class....
Yesterday we had a training where Dave and I had a contest to see who would have the better presentation.
During the presentations we asked the audience to give us a score. "Plus one!" "Minus two!"
In the end, Dave was victorious, with a final score of NEGATIVE .5 points. Sad that the 'winner' ended up with a negative score overall.
My biggest downfall was mentioning that I would like to see a new style on the Portal that utilizes Kittens. Yes, kittens...maybe playing with yarn, or napping together. I'm sure someone would use the kitten style...but I was given a negative FIVE points for my suggestion. This took me...

Right now, I'm sitting in our effective use of web tools workshop, and Alex Azam is dazzling the audience with Site Builder's design tools.
There is a giant bowl of candy on the table in front of me. Pam Geisel brought it in. A very nice gesture, I think.
One of the delicious candies included has a sour apple flavor. This flavor has permeated the rest of the candies, giving the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups a lovely sourness and the Kit-Kats a memorable funk. Not so much a taint as a bonus, in my humble opinion.
Alex is now showing the audience how to resize a graphic. People are taking notes.
I ate another scone. There are lemon and blueberry scones. I've had one of each. And a Reese's. And a Kit-Kat. And a cup...

The Web Action Team is going to leave the Action Cave next week and actually get out to talk to people!
We are conducting a training for the North Coast and Mountain Region on 'Advanced SiteBulder-ing'. We want to show people how to take their site beyond where most County sites are sitting now. This is not a standard SiteBuilder training, this is a full-featured 'SiteBuilder All-Stars' extravaganza!
Day 1 A.M. - Dave is on the mike with a SiteBuilder training. Everyone in the audience should be very familiar with the system, so we hope to move fairly quickly.
Lunch- provided by NCMR- thanks Kim!
Day 1...

There are two significant changes to Site Builder that may delight, puzzle or frustrate you, depending on whether or not they break something on your site. I kid, I kid. They probably won't break anything.
One of the changes was extremely simple, in concept. Instead of storing your files inside of your site's folder, we used to store them in a separate location. Disk space and file flexibility were the driving factors in making this decision, and file statistics weren't on anyone's radar yet.
(Incidentally, the decision was made many years ago when the internet was but a child, a small series of coffee stirring straws that would later grow into actual tubes.)
We...
