Today marks the launch of a new site generation for CUSOLaw.com based on our WordPress with SiteControl platform. The site design is largely unchanged, but benefits from the various features of the new platform such as site search, RSS feeds, Podcasts, and the usual Content Management (CMS) capabilities. Special thanks to Guy Messick of CUSO Law, and his team, as well as Michele Featherstone of Marketing Insightz for work on the content.
All of our hosted WordPress with SiteControl site have now been updated to the latest greatest WordPress release 3.0. The new version includes many new features to the backend that are primarily developer centric, as well as a number of optimizations/bug fixes/security improvements. For a full list of changes visit the WordPress Codex. We’ve tested the release prior to deployment to minimize any downtime for sites, but as always, let us know if you notice anything not quite right.
Web Services will be closed on Monday, July 5, 2010 in observance of Independence Day. Our regular hours will resume on Tuesday, July 6th, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern Time. Web updates submitted on Friday July 2nd will be published on Tuesday July 6th or Wednesday July 7th.
In the event of an emergency, please follow standard CU*Answers after hours contact procedures.
We came across an interesting web resource at http://uxmyths.com that examines the way typical users approach web design by exploring myths like “most users don’t scroll” and “more choices result in higher satisfaction.”
“UX Myths collects the most frequent user experience design misconceptions and explains why they don’t hold true. And you don’t have to take our word for it, we’ll show you lots of researches and articles from design and usability gurus.”
Wednesday, July 7th, we will be making an email server configuration change to improve the security of the SMTP (Outgoing) email authentication process.
You should verify that your email client has the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” setting checkbox UNCHECKED.
This setting is not needed and will cause the problem if it is checked. You shouldn’t need to make any changes if you followed the setup in our Email Setup Guide.
May 27th marks the launch of the new questfcu.com. The new site is a product of the merger of Hardin FCU and Logan Community FCU and the subsequent re-naming and re-branding of the CU - Quest Federal Credit Union. The site features our standard OBC-sized rotating banners, the usual bundle of awesome plugins, electronic forms, built-in site search, out-of-the-box SEO, and a mobile-ready theme.
