    We have added some weather information to the College Calendar. Hopefully each day’s forecasted high and low temperatures will help give event-goers a little more context of what to expect at their events.

    Our goal was to design a survey that allows anybody in the Gustavus community to easily give input on 439 items. The challenge was identifying and implementing a method that would work for as wide of an audience as possible without being overwhelming. Hopefully, we have succeeded.

    You may have noticed that a number of Gustavus pages feature calendar widgets that display events from the College Calendar. Today we added a small but hopefully useful feature to these widgets–whenever a date is shown, that date will link to the same date in the College Calendar.

    Since we added the new Gribly suggest feature on the 15th, we have already received some valuable feedback from our users via the five star rating widget on the bottom of every page: I like the new addition of the name suggestions, but I think when you select a name from the list, it should…
