So, it’s been two weeks since my last post. What have we been up to?
First, we set up a new Google Mini, which gives us access to updated software that’s years newer than what we were using for search. We’ve also changed what pages we’re searching. Instead of only searching the Lane Website, we’re now including some of our other websites, including Titan Athletics and the LCC Knowledge Network.
Tuning a search server is pretty tricky, and since ours is indexing over 50,000 webpages, any adjustments we make take some time to see – sometimes hours. But we’re watching the logs, and trying to make it easier to find the things that you search for most.
We’ve also deployed a few more of our websites to Drupal. Here’s a list of all the “chunks” of the site that are now hosted on Drupal:
- College Catalog
- Apprenticeship
- Successful Aging Institute
- Senior Companion Program
- Tobaccofree
- Affirmative Action
- Cottage Grove Campus
- Florence Campus
- Health, Physical Education and Athletics Department
- Course Schedule
- Adult Basic and Secondary Education
- Animal Support Committee
- Información para Latinos
- Multicultural Center
- College Online Policy and Procedure System
- Associated Students of Lane Community College
- Workforce Development
There’s a ton more “chunks” to do, but we’re making progress. As always, please let us know if you spot something not working! If you’re responsible for your department website, check out the ATC Training Schedule to to find a workshop so you can get trained.
