The 2010s were a wild ride on social media, with the rise and fall of mega platforms (Google+, anyone?), Facebook’s world domination, and the monetization — and even weaponization — of user data felt like a world-weary maturation of the form.

There are several ways to approach scheduling content that any social media admin can capitalize on. Some are easy, requiring little time and effort to schedule a few reminders, while others are more involved.

Hello!
We've been tidying up Louisiana.edu and one of our latest edits will affect your websites. In order to create clean up our URLs, /content/ has been removed from all of the sub-section pages. For example, louisiana.edu/content/admissions is now just louisiana.edu/admissions.
I got an interesting email this morning from Paul Olinger, in Academic Planning and Faculty Development, asking if there was a way to create folders within the Media bin under Content and thought everyone might benefit from the answer before your Media files become too numerous.

We have a blog!!
We now have a space where we can share web-related news coming down the pike, comment on each others' brilliance or our own idiocy (never the inverse!), and start building some online community.
Can you feel the internet love?
