Following in the footsteps of Ohio State University, Cornell University and Duke University among others, Ball State University has launched a blog dedicated to the relaunch of its website: Relaunching bsu.edu.
Maintained by Nancy Prater, BSU University Web Coordinator, this blog will be used as the main communication channel to announce changes and collect feedback via the comments as explained in a post dated August 31st, 2006:
“Work is underway on the relaunch of the Ball State University Web site.
To help you follow the process, University Marketing and Communications (formerly University Communications) has created this blog to discuss developments.
The relaunch includes two main initiatives:
* the re-architecting and redesign of the site to make it more logical in its structure and more visually appealing
* the selection of a new Web content management system (CMS), which is the back-end system used to run the Web site”
