WDA has a new(er) site!

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

and it’s harnessing the power of the almighty blogging software WordPress! Yeah, way cool! As time goes on, more and more information about our organization will be put on this website. Expect this to be almost a “hub” for everything WDA. It might include departamental updates, possible a podcast, images, and more (I’m actually not sure how images would fit into this, but one can hope!). Some more information on what I hope we do with this can be found on a post I did about open-sourcing an organization.

One thing to note is that the site will be continually under construction for the next few weeks. This means that the coloring might change, links will be jumping around, and the information on our static pages will be updating. If you don’t see something you expect to see on our site, please contact one of us and we would love to help you get that information! It might not be on the site just yet.

For now, here are some links to check out:

On top of that, look the site over and give us feedback! If you have any comments or ideas, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
