We’ve just released an update to the ClarkU WordPress dashboard. You’ll now find a few new features that we hope will make managing the website easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick summary of the updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A new WordPress website<\/a>. We’ve documented our components, and published some best practices for you to follow. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A box at the top of the dashboard with handy links to answer your burning website questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A box on the dashboard to display updates like this one right from within WordPress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A box on the dashboard to share important documents related to the website, like a strategy brief, additional custom documentation, and analytics reports. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That last feature is managed manually, so we’ll be retrofitting existing sites in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
