NVMA@Work Blog Moving to New Website Platform

New Multi-featured Site Launches Next Week

With next week's launch of the new Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA) website, the NVMA@Work blog will appear exclusively on the platform that is embedded within the website.

This separate Blogger platform no longer will be used. It was initiated a year ago due to the limited capacity of the old website to auto-generate email notifications and employ social sharing. Blogger has both of those functions, but they will be included within the new website, which launches next week.

If your email address is in the NVMA database, you will continue to have access to email notifications of NVMA@Work blog posts. Next week, NVMA members for whom we have current email addresses will receive an email invitation to sign on to the new website. The email will include a link that takes you to the site. If you have never signed on to the new site before, when you click the link you will first be prompted to set your password.

If you are a first-time visitor, you will be invited to complete your profile and indicate whether you want your NVMA directory listing to be visible to others.

You will then set your communication preferences. You may opt to receive all, some or none of the email notifications sent by the NVMA, including notifications of new posts to NVMA@Work.

When you have completed the initial signup, you will be taken to a Welcome Page that summarizes the site and its functions. Use it as your guide for exploring the site.
