The News page received an upgrade today that incorporates events and announcements from the College Calendar among other feature and usability enhancements. Some of the additional updates are:
Accordian-style sliders implemented for story summaries
Upgraded the algorithm that processes story bodies from the database into XHTML format to use XHTMLParagraphFormat()
Upgraded query files to use a centralized CFC which reduces code redundancy within the program and between other programs and improves page processing speeds
Relativized story dates to provide a stronger sense of freshness/staleness
Increased the visibility and usability of our RSS feeds using globally recognized imagery a la Feed Icons
