Please excuse any cross-posts of this message, however, I wanted everyone to know -- After 15 wonderful years at Rollins College, I have made the decision to leave effective July 6. I have accepted a wonderful offer to become the Executive Director of Residence Life and Campus Safety at Saint Leo University.

Within this position, the areas of housing/residence life, judicial affairs and campus safety will be direct reports. The staff is wonderful and I am really looking forward to returning to student affairs, the challenges and the students!

I will update contact information as soon as I get it, however, my Rollins information is good through July 6.

Virginia Tech

In response to the senseless tragedy at Virginia Tech a blog for student affairs professionals has been created for NASPA Region III (of course, my SACSA friends are also encouraged to participate). It is our hope that this site will serve both as a source of support for our colleagues at Virginia Tech and an evolving, learning forum where the membership can gather good ideas and best practices. http://www.naspar3.blogspot.com

New Features to Blogger.com

Wow... what we have been waiting for... Today Blogger.com announced the eliminatation of Blogger.com Beta and launched the new Blogger.com -- this did come with some inconveniences, however, it has wonderful new features... The biggest inconvenience? Users must have a Google Gmail account - no big deal though - you can sign up at gmail.com (but you need a cell phone to activate - if needed, just ask me - I have a few "invitations" left on my account.)

The new features include:

• Improved Template Customization
• Privacy (my favorite addition) - now it is possible to limit viewing of your blog to authorized users (just need to include their email addresses under the Permissions Setting) - perfect for classes, workshops or departments!
• More Feed Options
• New and Improved Dashboard
• Instant Publishing

Embedding Your Blog in a Web Page

Rather than list your blog as a link on your Rollins College web page, one of the easiest ways to hide the username.blogspot.com URL is to embed your journal in an <iframe> on a web page. Place the following on your page.

<center>
<iframe name="blogger" src="http://username.blogspot.com/" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" height="900" width="100%> <href="http://username.blogspot.com/"></a>
</iframe>
</center>

You will need to replace "username" with your Blogger.com username.
