You suggested, we listened. Welcome to the new Onward State, our fifth major redesign.
Some of the words we frequently heard about our previous redesign were cluttered, confusing, and community column. Not sure what's up with all of the C-words. In this redesign, we went back to the basics. A single stream brings together all of Onward State's content. You can choose to filter this stream to show everything, only community content, or only links.
Read on to find out what other exciting changes we made.
With six more showings of A Christmas Story and plenty of food left to eat, Christmas Day is finally here. From all of us at Onward State, we hope you and yours have a happy holidays. We'll catch you on the flipside.
It's that time of year again. Christmas music, cookies, and checking eLion compulsively for your fall semester grades.
As Penn State students take a break for the holidays, Onward State will too.
Onward State turns two today. If Onward State were a person, it would be capable of feeding itself. It could say small phrases. It could run. However, Onward State is not a person. If you did not know this, you are an idiot.
Onward State is a blog, one with over 3,000 posts and 5,000 comments. We're much more than that though.
A month ago, Onward State debuted the Community section as part of an effort to make our website a platform for readers to voice their opinions, share interesting stories, promote community events, or write about anything in the Penn State community that interested them. We’ve already had a great response, but we're missing one important element: you.
Hello my dear readers. Chase, your friendly Managing Editor, here.
In Onward State's never-ending quest for blogging excellence, we've decided to open the floor to the people of matter most, our readers, and ask for your suggestions on how you would like us to improve. I'm asking you to look deep down inside, down to what you care most about, critique your criticisms, and let us know what needs work.
Your suggestions can be about our website design, our Twitter and Facebook accounts, our level of snarkitude, our use of oxford commas... Anything is fair game.
So, my dear readers, I ask, "if you were in my position, how would you change Onward State?"
