A Couple Updates

Logan Cashin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:58:55 +0000

If you haven’t already noticed, there are a couple changes going on with the site, and the GAA in general. I’ve added a new tab on the top navigation bar that will have all of the minutes from our various meetings. The side bar has two new links as well. One if for the digital version of our GAA handbook for new members, and the other is a link to our weekly agenda for our general meetings.

We have lots of other great things planned to make the web site better, and to get more information out in the open for the public and our members. Brandon is working on changing the theme of the website around to be more like a site and less like a blog, and hopes to have it done by the end of the semester. And I will be working on assembling several documents on how to utilize all of our services to make it easier to stay in touch, and up to date, with the GAA

Blast From the Past: GAA Web Site

Brandon Martinez — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 14:34:36 +0000

A lot of work has been put into the current GAA web site, and there are still more features planned for the future. As a look back, you visit the GAA web site that existed before the current one. Click on the image below to jump to the old web site.

Now, even though it looks out-dated, there are a few features that the old site has that will be implemented on the new site. For example:

Current Members: it would be great for organizations to be able to see our current members. We will implement this in the very near future, along with a GAA Alumni list (showing past members, and hopefully, what they’re doing now).
Photo Galleries: currently, our site is lacking an actual photo gallery. We do have a Flickr account, but it is lacking updates. Speaking of, if anyone has any photos they’d liked to share, please email the photo group.
Industry Resources: this is actually awesome, and we definitely will be bringing these to you before the end of 2009. We plan to have links to industry leaders, scholarships, resume builders, and job sites.

Sure we’ve come a long way, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Keep an eye on the site for the numerous features we have planned!

P.S. Make sure you take a look at the video on the bottom of the About Us page from the old web site!

Update: Thanks to GAA/FSU alumnus Brad Bitzer on pointing out these even older versions of the web site:

The GAA Web Site: Now Mobile!

Brandon Martinez — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:02:47 +0000

If you would like to check up on the GAA while you’re on the go, you can now view the web site on your mobile devices. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch, Blackberry, Palm Pre, or Android-based phone, you’ll be able to view the optimized mobile web site. From here, you’ll be able to see all recent posts, access the contact page, read about the GAA, and access GAA Service information (how to connect with calendar, mail, and docs).

For screen shots, view the gallery below; or, you can navigate to this web site on your mobile device!

If you have any questions regarding this feature, please feel free to contact our Commissioner at Large.

Your New GAA Web Site Login

Brandon Martinez — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:03:19 +0000

After some serious programming, I was able to build a plugin for the GAA web site that will allow members to login using their GAA email address and password. To do this, go to the GAA Web Site login page, enter your GAA email address and password, and hit login. There is no need to register for a new account or anything of that sort. This account will be bound to your GAA email, so if you update your password in Gmail, your password will automatically be updated on the web site.

Please take the time to do this, update your profile, and add any additional information you like. We will be taking advantage of this over this next school year, so it will be important to have this setup. Thank you!

GAA Web Site: Growing Faster and Stronger

Brandon Martinez — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:44:54 +0000

If you haven’t noticed, the GAA web site has been going under some major revisions. We have been hard at work optimizing the site to bring you more relevant content regarding our organization, our school, and our industry. Please be patient as we continue to make this huge updates, and be sure to check back often to see all of the exciting changes.

As a teaser, here are some of the features we plan on offering:

Links to relevant industry web sites and blogs
An online archive of any Talk Casts that we do
Eventually, we hope to be bringing a (possibly) weekly Podcast, taking input from you for topics
And of course, much more!
