Our new demonstration site launched last week, and building it has been a journey for all of us. At the end of last week, we published a new site in EdWeb, intended to showcase what the system can do.

April has been a busy month for all things EdWeb and this month’s Web Publishers’ Community session was designed to provide university staff with the information they need for a smooth transition over to the new Content Management System.

Due to high demand for the service, on 5 May 2015 we’re going to run a special website support clinic dedicated to assisting people with their EdWeb migration preparation tasks.

As a new member of the Editorial Assistant team here at the University Website Programme, working with EdWeb will form a rather large chunk of my day-to-day activities. Therefore, it was vital that I formed a good working relationship with it right from the very beginning.
