atlantic.edu footer upgrades

The footer on atlantic.edu got received some upgrades today. Cosmetically it should be easier for users to read and we've also made the following additions as well:
  1. All locations and very basic contact information can now be found in the footer for our 3 main locations.
  2. Additional Information links such as contact us, feedback, etc. are now grouped under 1 column in the footer and made a little easier to get to.
  3. We've also added links to our numerous social networking properties that the school maintains. So now it's even easier for our fans, followers, or whatever they might be for that service to keep track of what we're up to.
Hope you enjoy, and please let me know if you have any further suggestions. Also check out the various social networking sites that we belong to, we're constantly added new content.

Google Labs

Google Apps does a great job of rolling out new features. However, they also often make some pretty cool features available through their Labs area. The Labs area is easy to get to if you're logged into your Gmail. Just click on the erlenmeyer flask found at the top right of the window.






Then you'll see a listing of all the currently available features available in the Lab.  If there's one you are interested in, just click on the Enable radio.  It's that simple.

My current favorites are:
  • Offline - it allows you to use Gmail without online access.  Very useful.
  • Canned Responses - automatically have a reply go out if it meets a certain criteria. Great for dealing with forms.
  • Google Calendar Gadget - incorporates your Google Calendar in Gmail, very cool.
  • and there's many more.
