<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I know this email list isn’t all that active, but I
wanted to take a moment to announce the recent launch of our new UA News Center
which has been redesigned to run on Wordpress. In addition to the site
that handles our news, we are also using Wordpress to drive two other sites
with more feature-oriented content. The main goal with this redesign was
to improve the functionality as well as spread our best content between these
sites. Please feel free to explore the sites and share any thoughts you
may have.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This project has been in development for a while now, so
it’s gratifying to see it go live. I do have to say that WordPress
is very flexible and I have come away from this experience impressed with it as
a platform. At this point, I’m surprised when it <i>can’t </i>do
something. There are some interesting bits of code and functions that
I’ve implemented and if you are interested, you can either check our web
design blog (<a href="http://webtide.wordpress.com/">http://webtide.wordpress.com/</a>)
for updates or email me.<o:p></o:p></p>
