I ran the updates for the website this morning, for both the WordPress engine itself (3.8.1), and also the plugins.
The CDH site is being backed-up automatically with the Backup Buddy plugin to the iThemes cloud, and also locally.
I made some edits to the Events page, and I added a post for the upcoming Professionalization in the Digital Humanities event with Professor Wernimont.
There’s a nice Calendar plugin I’ve come across recently, and it might be easier to use than the code for the current Events page (it’s free):
The Events Calendar from Modern Tribe: http://tri.be/shop/wordpress-events-calendar/
— this plugin is in beta mode with The Center for Ideas and Society at UCR: http://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/events/
— the “List” mode might be good for CDH uses too: http://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/events/upcoming/ (Month or List mode can be chosen at the top right of the calendar)
