Issuu Widget Setup for CP5 and MT

Right now if you go the home page of bgviews.com (CP5) or the home page of bgviewsnetwork.com (MT) you will see a Flash-based widget from Issuu showing the latest issue. This is completely automated, which is something that CP5 could not do - College Publisher even suggested Issuu as the solution to the shortcommings of CP5. In CP4, it would auto thumnail, and automatically place the latest PDF in the sidebar for us, we just had to tell the tool which PDF to use. And now we are back to being just as much, if not more, automated.

Now I need to build out a PDF Archive section in our MT site, something else that CP4 did for us, and now we need to do ourselves. The PDF will be officially launching the PDF Archive in the fall, and likely have a soft launch sometime this summer.
