Pair writing is a speedy way to craft content — it teams up content and subject experts to write together in a 1-2 hour session. We’ve started using this process with colleagues to improve and create University web pages.

At a recent Website Support Clinic, I worked with a web publisher who wanted to make changes that affected areas of the site she didn’t manage. In these cases, while we’re happy to go through how to make changes at support clinics, we ask editors to work with their lead publishers.

When performing Quality Assurance checks on new EdWeb sites, I frequently encounter the same issues that need correcting. If you have a site set to go through QA, this post lists common problem areas to avoid.

At the September Web Publishers Community, I delivered a presentation that calls upon the blogging community within the University to help us solve challenges with the EdGEL.

One of the best ways to get the most out of Google Analytics is by comparing two sets of data. This can be comparisons in time, actions, audiences or content. And the best way to do this is by using segments.

Redirects are a great way to ensure you don’t lose traffic to your site after making URL changes. However, redirecting unpublished pages in EdWeb presents issues for internal links; this post examines tops tips to minimise link breakage.

We contributed two workshops to this year’s IWMW conference, sharing our knowledge and experience with web managers from universities across the UK.

This summer I’ll begin a series of posts about Google Analytics, exploring some of the key reasons that we recommend its use. I will explore key tasks you can perform, and answer that vital question – “how can I tell if my site is successful”?

While many departments make use of a news section, if not structured carefully, these sections can often grow too large to easily maintain. This post demonstrates an option for creating a manageable news section that is easy to archive and avoids page links from breaking too soon.
