Last week, right before the CU*Answers Leadership Conference, Web Services launched a new website for our cuasterisk.com partner CU*South. This new site takes a radical break from their previous website strategy in that with this new site they are going to manage their own content locally. Because this new site is built using WordPress, they can simply log in and publish new content as needed.
The entire site is dynamically controlled through the WordPress dashboard including some of the newer features of WordPress 3.0 such as custom background images.
Good news for those of you who missed our two online training presentations last month. We have made the webex recordings available for streaming for your viewing pleasure. We cover a variety of topics pertaining to the way we use WordPress as a CMS. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Next week Web Services is hosting 2 web conferences reviewing what WordPress with SiteControl is and how to use it.
If you are already using our WordPress with SiteControl hosting, these classes will give you some insight into how to fully utilize the capabilities. If you are considering a redesign with us, these classes will be a nice introduction into the power of WordPress.

We are in the process of merging the new release of WordPress 2.7 into our SiteControl package. The new release brings a major overhaul to the look and feel of the administrative backend. The new backend requires less clicks to get around, and is also faster than previous versions. For more info on what’s new, check out the wordpress blog. We’ll be rolling the new changes out to your sites this week.
Our SiteControl platform is based on WordPress, which means there are some exciting new features in the works. Lead developer Ryan has announced some of the features to look forward to in next months release. Post Revision tracking will save old versions of posts so you can see what was there last week, or get back that paragraph you accidentally deleted. Better image management controls, post word count, and overall performance improvements are just a few other highlights to look forward to this summer.
