Just returned from lecturing at Bristol University for their 3rd year undergrad course and their MPhil class. I tried out a new lecture on this one, highlighting a lot of the new work that we have implemented over the new year on our web servers, and expanding on future plans.
I’m not sure how interested the students actually are, but the web resources that we are producing are rapidly becoming high quality information pages. I’m seriously working on web visibility at the moment, with a programme of search engine optimisation and various other initatives; this is beginning to take shape, with a huge upsurge in our web site viewing stats for last month.
This month’s stats are looking a bit poor due to a corrupt log on our backup server.
There’s loads more to do, but I’ll keep plugging away on this. Once I have finished the Content Management System that I have built for the finds website, I can devolve web content creation to the rest of the team. Then the next thread of attack is the Jodi Mattes web accessibility awards. I think we’ve done a lot this year to make the website more accessible. However, the things to do are still at the top of my list.
OpenCalais helped to tag this with: backup server • Bristol University • Content Management System • Jodi Mattes • New Year's Day • search engine • search engine optimisation • web accessibility awards • web resources • web servers • web site viewing stats • web visibility
