In Cooperative Extension (CE) we have the responsibility to develop capacities to communicate along many lines and in many ways. As with the transmission of this weekly bulletin, we commonly communicate these days electronically. One of the principle vehicles that we have in communicating is through our website systems and CE does have the responsibility for developing and maintaining accurate and functional website connections. In an effort to do that, CE recently recognized the need to develop an upgrade and improvement in our website presence and we have recently embarked upon the process of developing and implementing an entirely new website structure. Accordingly, a new website for CALS CE was released on 30 September.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>With the launch of any new website or similar structure, there are commonly a few problems or glitches that need to be worked out and resolved and in fact this is a continual process in the development and maintenance of an effective and vigorous website presence. True to form, CE has experienced more than our fair share of challenges associated with the release of our new website. I do know that our website team in CALS CE has been working diligently to address the problems that have arisen with release of this new website and I do know that they are making very good progress in the reparations. I also recognize and fully appreciate the frustrations that many people have in an effort to maintain their program presence through this website with the difficulties associated with this process. I do not fail to see that the ultimate responsibility for this CE website, and all programs emanating from CE, are the responsibility of the director. Accordingly, I accept responsibility for providing the “green light” that initiated the release of this website on its predetermined date of 30 September. I also take responsibility for working with and supporting the CE staff that are working hard to bring this website to the realization of its full potential as soon as possible. I am confident that we are making good progress in the reparations on this new website and any inherent problems that it now carries and I’m also confident that we will have a better website presence in the end and a much improved vehicle from which to communicate and deliver information regarding our programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I want to express my appreciation to all those who are working hard to develop and maintain this website, which is extremely complex for an organization like CE, and for all of the folks that have program materials that are presented and accessible through this website presence as we move through this initial process of development and implementation. I also ask for continued cooperation in our effort to bring this website to its full capacity in as short a time frame as possible. We are now one month out from its initial release, good progress is being made, a lot of hard work still yet to be done, and I have been assured that we will reach a reasonable point of development very soon. Hopefully we will soon be to a point where we can realize the full benefits of this new website and an enhanced capacity to maintain openness and accessibility to our programs for the many stakeholders that we serve. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>FOCUS ON PROGRAMS:<span style='color:#00B050'><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>New Globe Tractor Supply Store Places 5th in Clover Sales</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> - As some of you may know, Tractor Supply company has recently moved into Arizona and is opening several stores around the state.
