We just use WordPress¹s Blog part to do our outages and present other information in the pages. Https://help.ess.msu.edu/wordpress/ We even have a RSS plug-in that consumes the MSU Service Alerts and Spits them back out for us. The interface is a lot like working in Word and if you already have a layout that you use it is rather simple to convert it into a theme for use with Wordpress so it gives you a seamless presence. It allows for Access control so that different users have different levels of access and there are plug-ins that allow further restrict of content editing. :) Missy Missy Koos Webmistress & Database Developer *nix Administrator Vice President for Student Affairs and Services & Associate Provost for Academic Student Affairs and Multicultural Issues 171 Student Services Building Michigan State University Phone: 517.432.7512 http://help.ess.msu.edu/ On 8/23/07 11:36 AM, "Michael J.
