So, here it is.  The new UT Events website.  It’s quite a step up from the static site we had before where a little Javascript for mouse-overs and some “server side includes” to cut down on code repetition was the extent of web technologies used.

Now were up and running with WordPress, a blogging style CMS coded in PHP and backed with a MySQL database.  CSS maintains a consistent style with Pixeled used as the base theme (tweaked a little to suite our purposes better)

It’s going to give us an opportunity to make the website more dynamic and get feedback right on the page.  Don’t be afraid to leave comments on any of our blog posts.

The site is a little light on content at the moment but we’ll be adding a lot more pages soon.  We’ll have plenty of information about the upcoming Vortex event and, later on, some pictures from our previous events.  I’ll be integrating our twitter feed and linking to our various social networks.  There’s already an RSS feed for this blog and once everything is integrated there’ll be a Friend Feed you can subscribe to for just about everything we post anywhere.

So, let us know what you think in the comments or email us directly.  We want to hear from you.
