News Items from February and March

Featured Sites

The UNC Theme is being used in some really amazing ways around the University.  Two of my favorites from the past couple of months is the Papanikolas Group in chemistry and the Badminton Club.  Here are two screenshots.

Papanikolas Group - papanikolasgroup.web.unc.edu

Badminton Club - badminton.web.unc.edu

If you take a look at these sites you will see the theme being used for different page layouts, tables to show off content, footer widget areas, right sidebars, custom menus, and just about everything you can think of.  These are great sites to check out if you are looking for things to do with your site.  If they have it on their site, you can add it your site.
