If you're excited by the kind of work we do and looking for a change then we have a new vacancy that might interest you.
The Marketing and Communications Coordinator post is the first is what we hope will be a number of new positions based on the 'hub and spoke' model. These positions will work with a department or service to identify marketing objectives and with central Digital Marketing and Communications to deliver the appropriate solutions. This combined approach will mean you'll work in our offices some of the time and, in this case, with the Accommodation Services team too.
Learn more about this role on the University website and give me a call if you'd like to have a chat about it.

Making it easier to embed YouTube videos in your web content
We've just made some changes that will make it easier to add YouTube videos to pages in the CMS. You can now add videos to any content type that allows you to insert links, including standard page content, tabbed content, news and events.
To add a video, all you need to do is paste in a link to a YouTube video and assign a class to it of 'youtube-video-embed'. Your published page will then include the embedded video. The screenshots below show the steps in detail.
1. Paste in a link to a YouTube video
2. Use 'Insert/edit link' to set the class of the video to 'youtube-video-embed'
3. Done!
If you preview your page you'll now see your video embedded in your page. It will automatically resize to fill the width of your page.
As an added bonus, if you use this in a column that's too narrow for the embedded video to comfortably fit - for example in a three column layout or in a right hand column - then the video will be replaced with a thumbnail image instead. Clicking the thumbnail will take you to the full size video on YouTube.
The old methods of embedding videos will still work. Full details can be found in the Web CMS Guide Wiki.
