Examples of courses offered that include detailed physical assessments are:

Yoga

Eligibility:

The program is available free of charge to all full-time employees and retirees.

Part-time and limited full-time employees and spouses, including retiree spouses, are allowed to participate in wellness testing provided they pay for costs ($50.00 for bloodwork). They are not eligible to take release time for participation in wellness activities.

A blood test, to include a Chem Screen Panel + Coronary Risk Panel + Complete Blood Count (see link below for current year's schedule), is required yearly. Any employee who does not participate in the fall testing may still join the wellness program provided he/she presents a copy of the above lab work done within a year to the location wellness coordinator.

Procedures:

Test results are provided to all employees. Professional interpretation of the results should be attained from the employee’s personal physician. Wellness participants should consult their personal physician before engaging in wellness activities.
Employee participants are entitled to take a total of 1½ hours of work time each week (during working hours) to participate in wellness activities on or off campus, provided they match 1.5 hours of personal time each week. Time for wellness activities must be cleared and documented with the employee’s immediate supervisor and in some cases by a doctor's release.

Wellness-entitled time or matching time cannot be accrued.
Employees may participate in campus exercise or fitness classes free of charge, or they may use facilities at other campuses within the District. Employees may participate on a space-available basis.
Employees may choose to use facilities such as local fitness centers, YMCAs, etc. as long as they do so within working hours. The utilization of home equipment or any wellness activity conducted at the employee's residence is not eligible for release time.
Wellness-related activities are not covered by the district’s workers compensation insurance plan.

Employee Responsibilty:

Wellness testing is done annually at all DCCCD locations. Employees may choose any location where they wish to have the testing done.

If another location other than the normal work site, the employee must contact the work site's Wellness Coordinator to sign up for the testing. Be sure to indicate the location where the test results should be sent.

HR Responsibility:

The Wellness program is coordinated by the District Human Resources office 214-378-1526.

Exception to Policy:

Testing done outside DCCCD's provided testing dates and times will be at the employee’s or retiree's own expense.

Exceptions to the policy must be approved by District Human Resources.

Other Notes:

A health-conscious, educated employee can lead to a healthier employee. The District recognizes the importance of employee education as a means to enhance personal health. The Health Center serves as a focal point for the distribution of up-to-date news and facts on issues important to good health. Within each Health Center, employees will discover a vast supply of publications related to health issues and wellness programs.

To ping your site pages, you can go to ping sites, I only know two of them, and those are very popular. Those sites are pingoat.com, and pingomatic.com.

By installing a ping optimizer plugin (I use cbnet ping optimizer, other people use maxblogpress plugin for the same function), your wordpress blog will control how many times the changes or editings should be pinged to ping server.

Why Wordpress

What is Wordpress?

Wordpress is an open source application. You can design anything beginner or advanced.

Benefits:

Easy and usability for everyone. You do not need to know code. A webmaster can set your site up, personalize your template and show you how to add pages, posts, videos and pictures.

Cloud Hosting or purchase your domain through godaddy. All you need is hosting.

Create and set up on wordpress web server or you can host it on your hosting company.

Do Search Engines like Wordpress over traditional html?

In your opinion, does one have any advantages over the other? Do search engines like a blog-based website better than a html site, as my friend is insisting? Yes, in fact there are great SEO plugins and I do have a favorite one that helps SEO your site quickly and easily.
