New Website and Logo

March 29th, 2007 · No Comments

Welcome to our new website, made possible by the Russell Investment Group. It’s powered by a state-of-the-art web publishing platform called Wordpress, the same technology used by the New York Times and other world-class firms. We also have a new logo which we’ll be using on t-shirts and other club items. Here’s a roundup of the new features:

  • Email subscription feature that lets you receive all the latest GIC updates. Click here to subscribe.
  • RSS feed For those of you who like to get their GIC news in an RSS Feed reader (like Google Reader or Newsgator)
  • Google Calendar feature to manage our Club Events or view our Google Event Calendar directly on the web)
  • Google Docs to share spreadsheets or other work
  • Yahoo! Finance quotes
  • Links to popular sites that GIC endorses

All this can be found by browsing our main home page or by browsing the right rail of the site where these features appear. Once again, thanks to Russell for making all of this possible through their generous sponsorship!
