Migrating Types of Pages

Thinking this morning about the different types of pages (Trillium and otherwise) we will be migrating to the new website and our new content management system, LiveWhale, I decided to make a list online here at the redesign blog:

  1. Page content that can be moved to LiveWhale’s PAGES section on the new server with no problem and no changes necessary
  2. Page content that can be moved over but obviously in need a bit of updating on your part
  3. A news item that will be moved into LiveWhale’s NEWS section
  4. A calendar item that will be moved into LiveWhale’s EVENTS section
  5. Content from an email-only template that does not really belong in News or Events: Ignore, archive, or delete
  6. Tilde “~” sites of central importance: Ignore, but we will make a “landing page” in LiveWhale for us to link to first, before users go to the tilde site
  7. Tilde “~” sites of lesser importance: Ignore for now
  8. Gallery pages within Trillum: move into LiveWhale IMAGE and GALLERY sections
  9. Gallery pages on external sites like Smugmug or Picassa: Ignore
  10. Law and CAS alumni directories: Ignore for now

An interesting subset to all these is the use of forms.  For the most part we will migrate the current forms over to the new site as is, though RSVP forms will now be handled directly within the LiveWhale EVENTS section.
