2008 NTEN Conference Wrapup

Last Month, we headed down to New Orleans for the 2008 Nonprofit Technology Conference. It was a great time. We saw David Pogue preform the iPhone song (and tell us about GrandCentral), learned some great Google Analytics tricks and got to tell people about our CMS at the Science Fair. Thanks to NTEN and the City of New Orleans for being fantastic hosts. See you next year in San Francisco!

NEW CMS Feature - SEO-friendly URLS

We recently improved the way our content management system creates web addresses. All published pages now have human-readable or "hackable" URLs (i.e. yoursite.org/about/executive-director/bio). Fantastic for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), this method also improves usability by creating a natural breadcrumb for users to reference when navigating the site.

ASN impressed with Gulo Support

The American Society for Nutrition launched a new website recently powered by Re:Members, our content management system. Paula Eichenbrenner, Director of Marketing and Development, recently gave our work high marks:

"The CMS is easy to use and expert support is only one "feedback" click away. When I encounter web issues that are beyond my capacity, I simply complete the feedback form embedded in the CMS and Gulo staff members promptly address my requests - whether I have a general question, a complex chart to upload, or otherwise need support to achieve my website goals."

Thanks Paula!
