Drupal/CMS Notes from June 2009 Meeting

Author: Phil Munroe

I wanted to follow up from the Drupal/CMS web meeting we had last month. I have created a web page (CMS Redesign) that briefly outlines the Drupal Content Management System.

On another note, there are at least a couple things I'd like to implement in the next two months, related to Google.

1) We need to include Google Analytics on ALL our pages. We currently have it enabled on some pages, but not all pages. This would enable us to better observe traffic flow throughout our site, as well as complement other statistics that we are able to gather.

2) I am looking at replacing our "Google Syndicated Search" with "Google Custom Search". The Syndicated Search, while still working, is deprecated and is not actively supported by Google. Custom Search is essentially its replacement. It also gives us a little better control of how it searches our site, including a Dashboard for managing the Custom Search.

There are no costs to to our college for either of these Google services. If you have comments or questions about something mentioned here, feel free to reply-all, or contact me directly.

Thanks,
Phil
